Five Golden Dawn deputies to testify before magistrates

Five Golden Dawn MPs will testify to the examining magistrates investigating the Golden Dawn (GD) case today after the stripping of their parliamentary immunity

Besides Giorgos Germenis, who is already held in custody and is summoned to give a supplementary deposition for illegal gun possession, Golden Dawn deputies Artemis Mattheopoulos, Polyvios Zissimopoulos, Antonis Gregos and Costas Barbarousis are called to testify before the two examining magistrates for charges regarding participation and leading a criminal organisation.

According to sources, the deputies will ask for an extension to read the case file and prepare their testimonies.

Yesterday, the independent MP Stathis Boukouras was transferred from Nafplion prisons to Court of Appeal to testify for charges of illegal weapon possession.
