Greece prosecutor seeks conviction of six officers in Vassilis Magos torture case
The prosecutor of the Mixed Jury Court of Karditsa has proposed the conviction of six police officers for the torture of 26-year-old Vassilis Magos. The proposal covers incidents occurring on June 14, 2020, both during his transport in a police vehicle and while held at the Magnesia Police Directorate in Volos.
In addition to torture, the prosecutor recommended convictions for dangerous physical injury and endangering life, noting that the officers failed to provide necessary medical assistance or transport Magos to a hospital despite his visible injuries. The prosecutor suggested acquittal on the charge of illegal detention, stating that responsibility for that specific matter lay with the duty officer.
The case stems from the beating of Magos during a solidarity protest. Medical findings included six broken ribs and liver injuries. Magos died at his home one month after the incident.
