Single-Member Misdemeanor Court

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:

The ex-wife of a criminal lawyer accused of assaulting his current wife, Sofia Polyzogopoulou, has been prosecuted for disturbing domestic peace and issuing threats. She will testify before a prosecutor on June 27.
