The verdict for 27-year-old Vassilis Leventis, denounced by 24-year-old Georgia Bika in Thessaloniki for rape at dawn on New Year's Eve in a room of a luxury hotel in the city, is exculpatory.
The Thessaloniki Plenary Council, in a published verdict, accepted the 60-page recommendation of prosecutor Kyriaki Kliaba, who, based the rationale of her exculpatory motion on all the evidence in the case file - including witness statements - but also on the scientific results of the tests from the Forensic and Toxicology Laboratories of Thessaloniki and Bern, concluding that the testimony of the plaintiff "constitute fictions and outrageous lies".
"She created a story with herself as the victim heroine, embellishing it each time at will with gross lies in order to give more plausibility to the description of the events, presenting herself as a victim of rape by the accused and not only," the prosecution proposal said.
In addition to acquitting the 27-year-old, the council judges ordered the complainant to pay court costs, adopting the prosecutor's proposal on this aspect as well.
It will be recalled that the 27-year-old was facing the offence of "sexual acts without the consent of the victim" and after his plea to the investigating magistrate, where he denied the act attributed to him, he had been released with restrictions.
As stated to protothema.gr, the lawyer of Vassilis Leventis, Dimitris Tsakos, the verdict of the Petty Magistrate's Council came out unanimously and ruled that there will be no charge against his client. As Mr. Tsakos made known, he imposed the court costs against the plaintiff, Georgia Bika.
"My client from the very first moment expressed his absolute confidence in the Greek justice system regarding the accusation against him. Justice has ruled," said Mr. Tsakos.
