In such a climate, a well-known lawyer (and very active advocate of the left) voiced his astonishment and disapproval over the arrests. Specifically, criminal lawyer M. Dimitrakopoulos, intervened on ANT1 television during a news break and literally dropped a bombshell but was immediately cut off air for voicing his opinion.
Dimitrakopoulos who clarified that he is an active supporter of the center-left family, and suspiciously said that he has friends of Jewish faith, noted that the charges against the Golden Dawn party will not stand up in a court of law.
Specifically he said that all testimonies against the far-right party have political connotations and tones. "This whole criminal proceeding and the arrest of an elected politician by the Greek people, cannot stand in a court of law, in terms of criminal procedure and criminal law."
He questioned the felonies which reports claim have been committed by the Golden Dawn party, and that are being used to label this party as a criminal organization. Quite interestingly he said that the law which the State is manipulating to charge the Golden Dawn party has been in force since 2001 and it has never operated in such a way (meaning that by using two witnesses a judicial official can come to the conclusion that a criminal organization was at play.)
