Lifting the telephone privacy of Golden Dawn MPs

The Prosecutor of the Supreme Court of Greece proceeded to remove the telephone privacy for some Golden Dawn MPs.

This was part of an investigation by the Deputy Public Prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Ch. Vourliotis, and came after the findings in the discussions of the GD members recorded by NIP (National Intelligence Service) for reasons of national security. The said information implicates GD members in other illegal actions, besides the murder of 34-year-old Pavlos Fyssas.

These GD MPs reportedly ARE talking with other members and persons for acts falling under the provisions of the Criminal Code.

The Prosecution of the Supreme Court has at its disposal information to relate entrepreneurs, police officers and people of the night with the Golden Dawn.

So far there has been no apparent involvement by military in the action of the fascist party. For this reason, it is possible the Prosecution might decide on the lifting of telephone secrecy of the concerned persons.

Meanwhile, Vourliotis’ investigation opens a new round of witness summoning and gathering of evidence that can turn certain witnesses to suspects of criminal offenses, ie potential defendants.

Judicial sources even emphasize that some of the testimonies given in court are equally important to those given by protected witnesses in the case.

The main aim of the investigation is to see whether the Supreme Court can establish a prosecution for construction of a criminal organization, an offense that is prosecuted as felony and can even lead to temporary jail time. The information that has emerged so far will be combined with other preliminary investigation acts such as opening bank accounts, witness statements, etc.

It is worth noting that a circular from the former prosecutor of the Supreme Court Ioannis Tentes for criminal treatment on members of the GD, clearly states that in these felonies the relevant authorities may proceed to arrest MPs, thus paving the way to bypass the Greek Parliament.
