Convicted leader and founder of Greece’s far-right Golden Dawn party, Nikos Mihaloliakos, has been released from prison on parole, sparking fierce public outrage.
The mention of Alexis Tsipras that he wants to "win over" former Golden Dawn voters caused upheaval and political shock.
Six hundred and sixteen days after the historic first instance court decision, which had unanimously ruled that Golden Dawn is a criminal organization, the defendants will be re-tried at the appeals, after appeals by convicted former MPs and other defendants against the first decision.
