Lawyer Simos Angelidis addresses claims made by Makarios Drousiotis

Lawyer Simos Angelidis recently addressed the public controversy involving allegations made by journalist Makarios Drousiotis, which implicate public figures and institutions. During a television appearance on 'ENIMEROSI TORA', Angelidis emphasized the necessity for transparency and an immediate, structured legal investigation. He acknowledged that the situation involves two diametrically opposed versions of events: Drousiotis's insistence on the validity of his findings and the categorical denial of these claims by the accused parties. Angelidis warned that the delay in investigating these matters carries a high risk of character assassination. He explicitly stated that the state must manage such issues through official legal channels rather than reacting to public pressure or 'popular courts'. Additionally, Angelidis issued a public clarification regarding specific rumors circulating about a lawyer named 'Angelidis' allegedly colluding with a Supreme Court judge. He categorically denied that these rumors refer to him or to his father, the late Andreas S. Angelidis. The lawyer stressed that the authorities must avoid long delays to ensure justice is served properly.
