Eleven months after the decision of the Combined Jury Courtroom of Thessaloniki within the case of the homicide of 19-year-old Alkis Kampanos and the wounding of his two mates, following a brutal assault motivated by supporters within the space of Harilaou, within the early hours of February 1, 2022, it was transcribed and printed the rationale for the choice.
In accordance with data from APE-MBE, the choice has a complete of 4,317 pages, of which 309 relate to the reasoning that led the 12 accused PAOK followers to jail – seven of them with life imprisonment and extra multi-year prices as accomplices in potential intentional murder and the remaining 5 with non permanent prices as mere accomplices in identical act in opposition to the 19-year-old sufferer. The top of the Appellate Prosecutor’s Workplace, N. Kallides, appealed in opposition to the choice.
Within the multi-page reasoning of the choice, which was introduced by the president of the Legal Courtroom on July 12, 2023, it’s talked about for “blind fan hatred”, which led the 12 defendants to show in opposition to their unsuspecting friends just because they answered a query that they had been followers of Ares, ignoring the truth that they had been individuals fully unknown to them, with whom that they had no distinction.
“Premeditated and arranged assault”
Evaluating all of the proof and describing intimately the actions of all of the individuals concerned, the judges conclude that the assault was “pre-planned and arranged by all of the accused”.
As said within the reasoning of the choice, the weather that point out a major diploma of pre-planning and group are – amongst others – the next: guaranteeing numerical superiority over the victims, the choice of the victims with the only real and humble criterion of their choice that they assist the Mars group, in addition to the aim, “which was not merely the intimidation however the humiliation of them by them as PAOK followers and the imposition of the identical by neutralizing them by inflicting critical bodily hurt and even killing them, a chance which they didn’t rule out, however they foresaw with certainty as potential and he accepted it.’
Proof that results in the identical conclusion is moreover the traits of the assault and particularly the quick time period during which it was determined to hold it out, the availability of weapons (similar to a hammer, a folding knife of the karabid sort, a sickle, a wood pickaxe, an iron globe), the choice some to depart their cellphones at the start line or swap them off, the masking of their options, the methodical trapping of the victims and their shock, provided that it was not a prearranged assembly of followers of opposing groups, nor had there been any earlier argument between them.
As talked about in the identical resolution, the rationale for the bloody assault appears to have been data that got here to the data of the condemned that the day before today an incident had taken place within the Oreokastro space of Thessaloniki, during which Aris followers had attacked younger PAOK followers, chasing them with objects appropriate for assault.
The killing of Alkis
Relating to the homicide of Alkis, the reasoning describes that the assault in opposition to him lasted about 40 seconds and concerned seven individuals (who had been sentenced to life imprisonment), whereas it’s divided into two phases: the primary on the steps of the constructing the place he was with 4 extra of his mates and the second on the sidewalk, within the nook shaped by the right-hand ledge of the steps with the wall of the constructing’s facade.
The 19-year-old tried to flee from the windowsill to the precise of the steps, as two different younger males from his group had beforehand managed. “But having already acquired heavy blows with thrusting and slashing in addition to bruised organs, punches and kicks, and as he continued to obtain blows, he fell from the windowsill to the pavement […] the place though he was writhing in ache and shouting “assist, I am unable to, I am in ache” and “do not trouble me anymore” and whereas it was apparent that he was dropping a number of blood in a short time, he continued to obtain extreme blows falling to the bottom by the accused who had him comply with to the purpose”.
His shut good friend, who was on the steps, listening to his cries, even if he himself had acquired a number of blows with knives and damaged devices, “tried with an illustration of nice psychological fortitude to go to him and assist him, however in his try was prevented by three of the defendants, at the moment he was hit on the top with a wood pole which bent him as he grew to become dizzy and he made a fantastic effort to not fall down himself”.
Already bleeding profusely, Alkis managed to rise up and take solely three steps to an adjoining planter on the sidewalk. Attributable to his lack of ability to face, as described within the resolution, he sat on the sidewalk together with his again in opposition to the planter with out having good communication with the setting. Inside a couple of minutes he arrived on the scene in a patrol automobile with the police officer working to supply first support and with the little power he had left he managed to level together with his hand to the groin, the place he had a wound on his thigh and muttering the phrase “right here “, inside a couple of minutes he concluded, having already misplaced greater than three liters of blood from the actual wound.
Citing the coroner’s report, the judgment states that his dying was as a consequence of deadly accidents to the decrease extremities and head accidents. Within the judgment of the judges “it’s not of important significance to show which specific harm was inflicted by means of some blunt object and which, for instance, by kicks”, since, as it’s expressly said, all of the blows had been equally deadly.
The potential deception
Relating to the documentation of the judges’ resolution to alter the cost of murder from direct to potential intent, regardless of the prosecution’s proposal on the contrary (in addition to for the tried homicides in opposition to Alki’s two mates), the next are highlighted: “Sure, though it was not confirmed, in keeping with the judgment of the courtroom, that they acted with direct malice, i.e. that they began the assault and acted looking for the results of the dying of one other, it’s sure that they took his life by appearing with the intention of inflicting a minimum of critical bodily hurt and accepting and the opportunity of his dying from their actions, which did happen.”
The potential malice, in keeping with the choice, outcomes from the weapons chosen and utilized by the perpetrators, from the components of the physique they hit, particularly the sufferer’s head and thighs, from the multiplicity and nice severity of the injuries they inflicted in few seconds, from pursuing and finishing up their assault, having a major numerical superiority, making it inconceivable to mission a protection or escape the sufferer. Lastly, from the truth that Alkis had fallen from the blows to the pavement and whereas he was screaming in ache and it was already apparent that he had misplaced a number of blood, they had been nonetheless hitting him collectively and repeatedly.
Enchantment in opposition to the choice
Accepting the request of Alki’s household, the Appellate Prosecutor Nikos Kallides filed an enchantment in opposition to the choice just some days after the decision of the Combined Jury Courtroom of Thessaloniki, with the primary level of disagreement being the conversion of the cost of murder from direct to potential intent.
Which means that when the case goes to the Courtroom of Enchantment, these convicted might be charged with first diploma homicide. An enchantment was filed for 3 convicts who had been discovered responsible as accomplices and for whom the district legal professional was of the opinion that two must be sentenced as perpetrators and the third as an ethical perpetrator.
