GIANNIS LAGOS, the former Golden Dawn and now independent MEP, has lost an appeal against conviction over an attack on a community centre in 2013 in the last outstanding case from a cycle of neonazi violence in Greece from 2008-13.
The decision by the Trilateral Court of Appeal in Athens today found that Mr Lagos was a “moral perpetrator of dangerous bodily harm” and former Golden Dawn MP Nikos Michos was guilty as an accomplice.
Both men were convicted for involvement in the fascist party when Golden Dawn was found to be a criminal organisation last year.
