Koogias for Rendis: Why I Denied Defense for 18-Year-Old Defendant

Reasons why he refused his family's request to take over the defense of an 18-year-old accused of throwing Combustion The lawyer explains to the policeman who has come to an end Alexis Gougias.

Mr. As the Koogiyas usually say:

“The family of the 18-year-old in remand custody met with me before he apologized and after the burden of the charges he faces today, as he now faces a charge of aggravated murder with possible intent. He asked me to accept his defense.

It is well known that in my 50-year career, I have appeared in about a thousand homicide cases. 18 years, since he got it Several defenses in the case against him, But I am obliged to refuse for the following two very serious reasons:

The first reason is that a week ago the president and owner of PAE Olympiacos Vangelis Marinakis honored me with the position of legal advisor, 1st vice president and representative of this great historical club wherever he needs to be represented. I have honored him by accepting this honorable proposal, and I have already accepted my obligations in a legal capacity, because I am drawing up a case PAE Olympiakos, which will condemn – reveal all this criminal organization to the prosecutor of the Supreme Court. Unfortunately it has been unpunished since 1996 and destroyed the whole of Greek football, especially in the last ten years, when a former employee of the EPO appeared in a dirty Greek background, he was a star in the koriopolis case file, but I represented PAE Olympiakos. At yesterday's meeting and at the Super League 1 meeting, at my own request on behalf of PAE Olympiacos, the Vice President Mrs. I allowed all PAEs to represent Koxenoglou and attend the funeral of the unfortunate guard, and all PAEs must collect. A respectable amount, which we will only give to his parents who are insecure in their lives.

Everyone realizes that if I make this choice as an 18-year-old's lawyer, all the hypocrites will misconstrue my duty to defend and willfully misconstrue that choice of mine.

The second reason is that I have been honored by all the Greek police unions and the families of elite police officers accused of killings in the line of duty, and I am defending them today because I accepted the family's proposal. I will be the guardian of this unfortunate 18-year-old youth who allegedly took the life of the accused. As per the duty, to protect their lives, the honorable police officers whom I protect, are involved in the cases as defendants.

I feel compelled to make this announcement because a lawyer's associate in the case learned from me of this visit by the parents of the 18-year-old boy.

My colleagues who are involved in the defense of an 18-year-old youth, should he be found innocent, would like to present before the court all the positive elements of his personality and his family environment to help him in measuring the punishment. I doubt he is the culprit.
