The perpetrator of the murder of Fyssas, Giorgos Roupakias will also be taken to prison.

According to the decision, the following will be imprisoned: Nikos Michaloliakos, general secretary of Golden Dawn, MEP Giannis Lagos, Elias Kasidiaris, Elias Panagiotaros, deputy leader Christos Pappas, Artemis Mattheopoulos, and George Germenis.
