Petros Filippidis In camera trial requested by the victims' side The request is most likely to be granted What the actor's lawyer claims

On March 28 the trial[/B] of the detained Petros Filippidis is scheduled to continue, accused of one rape and two attempted rapes.

The trial started on March 18 but was interrupted at the request of Michael Dimitrakopoulos' lawyer in order for the actor himself to attend the court.

Speaking on Monday morning (21/3) on "Proino", Mr. Dimitrakopoulos revealed that the lawyer of the women who have denounced Petros Filippidis will file a request for their examination to take place behind closed doors.

"There is a development that worries me. I have seen that the side in support of the prosecution will request that the examination of the three women who accuse Petros Filippidis be held in camera. It is an exception to the principle of publicity of the trial because I believe that publicity ensures a more correct and more correct judicial decision," he said and added:

"When there is a risk, especially in offences related to sexual life, that the complainants may suffer mental suffering, the possibility is given to hold the trial in camera. This request will be made at the post-adjournment hearing and is likely to be granted. Beyond that, let's hope that the leaks that will be made will be leaks that correspond to reality."
