Assault

A well-known trapper and an accomplice who attacked and seriously injured a student in a Thessaloniki nightclub in January have been handed a three-year suspended sentence after being found guilty of a misdemeanor charge of grievous bodily harm.

The trapper, 25, and his friend, 24, were released from custody, following sentencing at Giannitsa Mixed Court.

A prosecutor from Greece's Supreme Court on Thursday launched an emergency inquiry into the alleged beating and sexual assault of a 16-year-old Egyptian boy at a migrant camp outside Athens.

A 30-year-old father was arrested in Agrinio, central Greece, on Saturday after allegedly attacking his 12-year-old daughter with a knife and burning her with a cigarette. 

He is also accused of physically assaulting four of his other children, aged 6, 9, 10 and 11, in front of their 29-year-old mother, who has also been detained. 

A one-year-old infant sustained a head injury during an altercation between four women in provincial city Pyrgos, northwestern Peloponnese, on Saturday.

The injury reportedly occurred when one of the women threw a plastic scooter at the infant. 

A 65-year-old man has appeared before an Athens prosecutor for insulting, threatening and physically assaulting a 27-year-old man apparently because of the victim's sexual orientation.

On Sunday, the man, together with another person, had made abusive gestures from his car at the 27-year-old man and another person aimed at their sexual identity before driving off.

In a significant legal development, a 16-year-old student has been charged with a felony for a violent incident that occurred at a high school in inland Heraklion, Crete. The altercation resulted in a 15-year-old student being hospitalized at P.A.G.N.I. with injuries to his face, particularly to his left eye and mouth, leading to a broken tooth.

An acid attack occurred on Monday against a 14-year-old girl in London – outside the school she attends – and a 16-year-old who was with her, which left the girl and a school worker seriously injured.

The girl remains in hospital with potentially “life-changing” injuries to her health and appearance.

The council downgraded the initial felony charge of grievous bodily harm, related to the assault on his wife, Sofia Polyzogopoulou, to a misdemeanor—specifically, intentional domestic endangerment causing bodily harm. As a result, Lytras will now be tried in a Single-Member Misdemeanor Court rather than a Mixed Jury Court.

The conditions imposed on Lytras for his release include:

A prosecutor has recommended that criminal lawyer Apostolos Lytras face misdemeanor charges, not felony, in the alleged abuse of his wife, attorney Sofia Polyzogopoulou. The charge would be reduced to "dangerous bodily harm" from "serious intentional bodily harm."

A 45-year-old man from Pernik has been arrested for inflicting bodily harm in a case of domestic violence, according to the Regional Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The incident occurred late last night on "Targovska" street, when a 39-year-old woman was assaulted by the man she lived with, in front of their newborn child.
