Two store owners and four policemen have been ordered to stand trial on charges of fatal bodily harm leading to the death of Zac Kostopoulos, 33, an LGBTQ activist, in downtown Athens.
Kostopoulos died of injuries after being severely beaten on Gladstonos Street in September 2018.
At a meeting, the council of misdemeanor judges accepted a recommendation by a prosecutor that the six stand trial. The council rejected a request by Kostopoulos' family that the case be tried as wilful homicide, citing the coroner's report that linked the victim's death to his severe beating by the two store owners, a jeweller and a realtor.
