Political prosecution
In 2009, the far-right Golden Dawn party filed, before the Greek justice, many documents against several left-wing Greek authors. The police wanted to interrogate all of them, but they jointly agreed not to appear in court and jointly signed a document stating they legally rejected the accusations. After reviewing the documentation, two of them were brought to justice by the Attorney General: Savas Matsas and Constantin Motzouri, the former rector of the National Technical University of Athens. There was an international petition in his defence. A lot of his words, however, are a direct attack to Golden Dawn with no serious character but consist mainly of insults towards them. None of them are to be taken serious. His partyOn 4 September 2013, an Athens court acquitted Matsas and Moutzouris of all charges.
