The defendant, who remains in custody tonight, after the deadline he received from the investigator, is asked to apologize for violence against a member of parliament during the exercise of his duties, for the attack inside the Parliament against the member of Hellenic Solution, Vassilis Grammenos.
According to statements by the defendant’s lawyer, Vassos Pantazis, the incident was preceded by a “vulgar verbal attack” by the victim towards her principal.
The advocate referred to “justified indignation”, as “provided for and defined in the criminal law”. At the same time, Mrs. Pantazi, expressing surprise at the criminal charge against Mr. Floros, spoke of “legal exaggeration” over an unfortunate personal incident.
