Hellas your greatness once again! On the day that the prosecutor’s proposal for Ilias Michos in the case of the 12-year-old in Kolonos has provoked the public’s sense of justice, another “known” pimp also provokes.
Specifically, after the acquittal of the 20-year-old victim, who was brought to court following a lawsuit by convicted police officer Dimitris Bouioukou, the prisoner filed a complaint with the Athens Bar Association about the girl’s lawyers, Dimitras Keramidas and Antonias Legakis, claiming that they had slandered him .

The press release from the advocates states:
“We live in days when victims and advocates of victims are persecuted. The 19-year-old former prisoner of the policeman in Ilioupoli, was sued by him and had to go to court where she was solemnly acquitted.
Her advocates, Antonia Legakis and Dimitra Keramydas, were called to apologize to the D.S.A. following a report by the same police officer, because we allegedly slandered him as we defended his victim exactly as we had to, based on the principles of Criminal Procedure and the Code of Lawyers, and of course he was convicted at first instance, among other things, for human trafficking by profession.
The complainant obviously tried to create false impressions in view of the upcoming appeal trial, but the attitude of the Prosecution Authority, which referred his victim to the audience (to be acquitted there, of course) is questionable.
We expect the Athens Bar Association to correctly assess the number of documents and other evidence we have presented and to raise a wall in the methods of incriminating the advocates of trafficking victims and not to allow the transformation of the operation into a criminal offense.
The advocates
Dimitra Keramyda, Antonia Legaki”.
