ATHENS: A four-year-old bid to jail members of Greece's neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn accused of murder, billed as one of the most important trials in modern Greek history, could be nearing its conclusion.
Their main charge is participation in a criminal organisation, in addition to a host of other indictments related to murder and assault.The catalyst was the September 2013 fatal stabbing of 34-year-old rapper Pavlos Fyssas, a self-declared enemy of the group, in the working-class district of Keratsini. His family said Golden Dawn had shadowed Fyssas and that he had been ambushed on orders from senior party brass.
The mother of one of the defendants was trying to persuade the court that her child"had done nothing wrong." Time was lost in deliberations on finding a big enough venue for the trial, and in a nine-month lawyers' strike in 2016.
