Lyggeridis murder: Three of the 10 defendants are in custody

The three men were sent to prison after pleading guilty to drug charges

Three of the ten defendants who were arrested in the context of the murder of the police officer Giorgos Lyggeridis in Rentis are being sent to prison.

The three were arrested during the operation for the activity of a criminal organization involved in fatal attack on the police officer Giorgos Lyggeridis. The decision to send them to prison came after they pleaded guilty to drug law offences.

The ten defendants were brought before the 4th regular investigator in the morning before whom they pleaded guilty to the charge of supplying and possessing narcotic substances.

After the completion of the procedure, the three were deemed remanded in custody while the rest were released with restrictive conditions for this case.

Of the group of defendants in court today, three face only drug-related charges and are not accused in the criminal organization case.

The other seven will be among those who will be brought in groups tomorrow and Sunday before investigators to plead guilty to the organized crime case, the killing of the policeman and other serious charges against each.
