The court case for former prison bosses is delayed. Anna Aristotelous was the prison director. Athena Demetriou was her deputy. They will go to court on February 9th.
Their lawyers asked for more time. They are not ready for the trial. They need important papers. They do not have all the papers yet. This makes it hard to prepare.
Eight people are on trial. Anna and Athena are two of them. Five prison workers and one police officer are also on trial. Their lawyers need the papers to help them.
Some papers were given in a strange way. Lawyers got some information on USB sticks. This is not the right way. Many papers are missing. These include interviews and reports.
One lawyer thinks the case should not be in this court. He says the bosses followed orders. He thinks the state should help them.
The trial is about complaints from 2022. The defence thinks the trial is for revenge. The next court date is February 9th. We will see if the problems are fixed.
