Greece (catch all)

The wheels of justice move slowly and I'd nearly forgotten members of the party were arrested; the account is not impartial and opens with:

The Golden Dawn trial, held in Athens, started in April 2015: a unique penal trial of 69 defendants, among them 18 members of the Greek Parliament, all elected on the Golden Dawn ticket. The major accusation is based on Article 187 par. 1 of the Greek Criminal Code that defines the nature of a criminal organisation. Besides this, three more serious criminal offenses are also bought before the court: the murder of Pavlos Fyssas, an anti-fascist rapper; an assassination attempt on Abuzid Embarac, an Egyptian worker; and assassination attempts on members of the Greek Communist Party.

The party had 7% support in the 2015 elections and remain the third largest political party in parliament. For background see:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden...litical_party)
