Following the issuing of the verdicts, which were all unanimous, the court will now look at any mitigating factors for those found guilty.

As this could take some time, sentencing will take place later, possibly on a later date.
In his mitigation plea, defence for Giorgos Roupakias, found guilty of Pavlos Fyssas' murder, said his client was "apolitical", who didn't know the difference between the platforms of the Communist Party and #GoldenDawn. He supported GD because of its "social work"

#GDTrialEN
The mitigation pleas have concluded. Court resumes tomorrow at 12.30 to hear the prosecutor's recommendations for sentencing.

Thanks for following.
