Legal proceedings involving Greek actors Petros Filippidis and Giorgos Kimoulis continue

On September 28, 2026, the Greek judicial system continued proceedings involving prominent actors Petros Filippidis and Giorgos Kimoulis amid a broader period of public discourse regarding misconduct in the arts sector. Petros Filippidis is pursuing a lawsuit against the woman who previously accused him of rape, a case for which he was previously acquitted unanimously by the Mixed Jury Court due to lack of evidence. During the hearing, a close friend of the accuser testified about the complainant's earlier perception of Filippidis as a professional role model.

Following the court session, Filippidis's lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, stated on September 30 that the actor is facing significant health, psychological, and financial difficulties as a result of his years-long legal ordeal. Simultaneously, actor Giorgos Kimoulis is proceeding with a separate legal claim against actress Dora Chrysikou. These developments mark a continuation of the ongoing legal challenges involving key figures in the Greek theatrical community, with both the media and public monitoring the outcomes closely.
