The 23 of 27 individuals suspected of being involved in the violent events that took place in Halkidiki in relation to mining operations in near Ierissos, have been called to testify today in Thessaloniki.
Four of the 27 suspects testified in writing yesterday, denying any involvement in the criminal acts. The other 23 suspects are expected to follow the same tactic.
According to the 2,500-page case file, there are many recorded telephone conversations amongst the suspects, which the police claim implicates them to the violent events.
The suspects are being charged with forming a criminal organization and a number of violent acts which took place between May and August in the “Lakkos Karatza” area at Megali Panagia and the area around Ierissos.
