Closed-door trial of Petros Filippidis
Meanwhile, the testimony of the first of the three actresses accusing their colleague, Petros Filippidis, of serious acts of sexual violence continued behind closed doors.
His lawyer, Kiki Pakirtzidou, spoke to "Smile and Again!" on whether the alleged victims fell into contradictions.
"Whether there is a victim or victims will be determined by the court in its decision. The complainant continued her testimony in camera. She was questioned by the lawyers of the Civil Prosecution, and on 14 April she will be questioned by me.
It would be very, very interesting to have the session in public and for all of you and the world to watch what the complainant will say. These are things that have been created, I will put it very elegantly. With their narratives and their reports, they fall into contradictions," she said.
