Andreas Vaggopoulos Criticizes Prosecutor’s ‘Unprecedented’ Third Version in Filipidis Trial

In the high-profile trial of Petros Filipidis, the prosecutor has requested the acquittal of the accused in relation to the second complainant’s allegations of attempted rape. Andreas Vaggopoulos, the lawyer representing the second complainant, expressed strong disagreement with the prosecutor’s stance during an interview on ‘Chamogele kai Pali!’ Andreas Vaggopoulos argued that the prosecution failed to present any evidence from the case file that supported its recommendation. He described the prosecutor’s approach as unprecedented, particularly highlighting how a third version was introduced by the court despite existing narratives from both the defense and prosecution. Vaggopoulos emphasized that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution and expressed confidence that his client’s account would be validated by the end of the trial.
