According to reports, judges Ioanna Klapa and Maria Dimitropoulou stressed that the evidence they have accumulated indicates that party's entire parliamentary group must be summoned for questioning.
In what is being described as an important development in the move to outlaw Golden Dawn, special magistrates investigating charges that the party constitutes a criminal organisation requested parliament lift immunity for the remaining nine MPs that until today have not been subject to legal proceedings.
The party entered parliament for the first time following the 2012 elections with 18 MPs. A crackdown against the party began in the autumn following the fatal stabbing of anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas by a self=proclaimed supporter of Golden Dawn.
Six of the group’s eighteen MPs, including Golden Dawn leader Nikos Michaloliakos, have been imprisoned pending trial. A further three have been released but face charges including Golden Dawn spokesperson Ilias Kassidiaris who has stated that he will run for the position of mayor of Athens in May’s municipal elections.
Golden Dawn MPs who have already been imprisoned pending trial are:
- Nikolaos Michaloliakos
- Christos Pappas
- George Germenis
- Ioannis Lagos
- Efstathios (Stathis) Boukouras
- Panagiotis Iliopoulos
Those released on bail pending trial are:
- Ilias Kassidiaris
- Ilias Panagiotaros
- Nikolaos Michos
The remaining MPs who magistrates are now seeking to prosecute are:
- Eleni Zaroulia (wife of Nikos Michaloliakos)
- Nikos Kouzelos
- Antonis Gregos
- Polyvios Zisimopoulos
- Konstantinos Barbaroussis
- Chrysovalantis Alexopoulos
- Dimitrios Koukoutsis
- Artemi Mattheopoulos
- Michalis Arvanitis
