Zoe Konstantopoulou will face justice as Justice Minister George Floridis announced that criminal charges are being filed against her for felony offenses. Konstantopoulou persisted in recording videos during the Tempi trial and posting them on social media, despite this being prohibited.
Speaking on Alpha Radio, George Floridis referred to “a minimal majority that reacted without protesting for any particular reason, simply seeing that their attempt to postpone the trial and transfer it from Larissa to Athens was collapsing.” “In this effort, Zoe Konstantopoulou played a leading role with criminal acts by filming police officers without their consent,” he noted.
“Criminal charges are being filed automatically by the competent prosecutor and this will be brought to court,” he added, stating that “charges have already been filed based on press reports for the criminal act of videotaping a judge in Larissa and publishing on social media despite the judicial officer’s refusal, who made a report and charges were filed.”
He also reminded that “in the past she had attacked Pavlos Polakis for recording a phone call with Mr. Stournaras and had reported him for a felony, and what she did herself is worse because it also includes images.”
George Floridis against Konstantopoulou: “She enlisted her father”
George Floridis then referred to Nikos Konstantopoulos, saying: “I want to say that he was enlisted to help create obstacles for conducting the trial, failed in this and resorts to insults. Mr. Konstantopoulos never appeared during the 3 years the investigation lasted, he appeared now when the trial starts to create obstacles. After this plan failed and the trial proceeds, then he resorted to insults.”
Regarding Maria Karystianos, he said she “took care yesterday to vindicate us because she announced the founding of a party. My statement was that for all parents and especially for a victim’s mother there is a place waiting for her, there is no place for party leaders. Mrs. Karystianos played a leading role in the case of preventing the trial and she chose to downgrade her shocking identity as a mother and put forward her political identity.”
“So it is also our right to remind that when a trial is conducted, everyone is there with the capacity that the law assigns them. Here the law assigns the crucial capacity of the victim’s mother and with this capacity there is the place that awaits her,” George Floridis concluded.
