Endangerment

Apostolos Lytras: Released on bail – Referred to trial for misdemeanor, not felony

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:

Probe being carried out into fatal fairground injury of girl, 13
