Criminal sentencing for robbery and attempted murder
Overview
Legal proceedings in Greece and Ghana have resulted in various prison sentences for robbery and violent crimes.
In Rhodes, Greece, a 42-year-old man received a 17-year prison sentence for the robbery and attempted murder of a homeless man. The court issued a 10-year sentence for the robbery and a 12-year sentence for the attempted murder, totaling 17 years plus a 5,000 euro fine.
