Influencer Ioanna Touni released following arrest for defamation

Influencer Ioanna Touni was released by order of a prosecutor on Saturday, April 4, 2026, following her arrest. The incident began on Friday, April 3, when Touni encountered a man convicted in her revenge porn case at a nightclub in Thessaloniki. Touni requested that the establishment remove the man, but after they refused, she filmed him and posted his identity on social media. The man subsequently filed a defamation complaint against her, leading to her arrest under the 'in flagrante delicto' procedure. Touni reported to the White Tower police station voluntarily after learning she was being sought. Her lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, criticized the authorities' rapid response in detaining his client. This event occurred shortly after a court convicted two men for the revenge porn case, imposing suspended sentences of three and four years.
