GD: Weapons, drugs, fascism and antiquities led to the request for immunity waiver

The request of the two female investigating judges, Ioanna Klapa and Maria Dimitropoulou to request the immunity waiver of 9 Golden Dawn members, who have not been indicted until today, marks a new round in the investigations of the fascist party.
 
The two investigating judges requested the waiver of immunity for the offense of taking part in a criminal organization for Eleni Zaroulia, Nikos Kouzilos, Michalis Arvanitis – Avramis, Antonis Gregos, Polybios Zissimopoulos, Artemis Mattheopoulos, Constantinos Barbarousis, Dimitris Koukoutsis and Chrysovalantis Alexopoulos.
 
Moreover, the judges request an immunity waiver for MP Nikos Michos also for law violations and drug possession, in particular 2.4 grams of marijuana.
 
Furthermore, the two investigating judges requested the waiver of immunity for the already jailed MP Ch. Pappas for violating the law on protection of antiquities and cultural heritage. According to information he was found in position of two sacred books of Byzantine antiquities, dating back to 1830.
 
The immunity waiver request for the 9 GD members is reportedly based on 115 witnesses testimonies, seized material from the homes of those involved and testimonies of the defendants.
 
According to what has emerged so far from the investigative research:
 

- the Golden Dawn organization was founded in the early 80s by leader Nikos Michaloliakos with a small number of like-minded people. Its character was that of ideological guidance to National Socialism with clear references to the Third Reich, Hitler and the SS
- GD has a vertical hierarchical structure on which it operates all these years with distribution of tasks and responsibilities related to the dissemination of ideas and positions and the training of its members
- members of each local branch are allegedly called for each action or event with SMS messages with confidential status as revealed from the lifting of telephone secrecy of those already accused
 
Lastly, Klapa and Dimitropoulou refer to witness statements that show the way the organization operated and make reference to specific criminal acts, including the murder of Pavlos Fyssas, an attempted murder in Perama, an attack against Egyptian fishermen at the wharf in Perama, attack against foreigners in Ierapetra, attacks on Afghans, etc.
 
The request also records the weapons found in the houses of MPs who appear not only as official spokesmen of the organization but also as supporters of the ideas of its members.
