Under the Greek legal system, a #whistleblower is granted protection until the case is heard in the highest court of appeals. Today, a General Attorney decided to de facto alter the process by asking a whistleblower to leave the room, for unknown reasons. (1)
Corruption and protecting #whistleblowers are interconnected. Our framework of criminal proceedings is clear that until the case is seen through, the person who originally gave the information is protected at all fronts. Today, under the pretext of Covid19 we failed to do so.
It is a major step back to our legal civilization and evolution because a General Attorney has no authority to lift the title of a #whistleblower until the case is heard in front of the Highest Court applying to every case. Public interest shouldn't be affected by any pandemic.
Under any other circumstances, our Justice Min would be furious however ours is a microbiologist so no high hopes. On a personal level, I'm curious for the reaction of the Judge's Union. #WhistleblowerMovement
