Alexandros Giotopoulos released from prison

The Athens Council of Appeals has approved the conditional release of Alexandros Giotopoulos, the convicted leader of the terrorist organization 17 November. Giotopoulos had been serving multiple sentences, including 17 life sentences and a 25-year term, for his involvement in 17 murders, bombings, robberies, and leadership of the group. While some reports state he is being released after serving 24 years, others confirm his release follows the legal decision by the Council of Appeals. He was previously incarcerated at Korydallos Prison. This decision marks a significant development regarding one of Greece's most high-profile terrorism cases. The conditional release requires him to adhere to specific legal terms set by the judicial authorities.
