Domestic violence legal proceedings in Greece

Overview

Greek courts have been processing various domestic violence cases involving different levels of sentencing and legal procedures.

In several regional rulings, defendants received varying punishments. In Volos, a man received a six-month prison sentence with a three-year suspension for making threats against his father, contingent on participating in a mental health program. In Thessaloniki, a police officer was sentenced to eight months with a three-year suspension and a restraining order following threats against a woman. In Larissa, a man received a two-year prison sentence without the possibility of suspension for attacking his pregnant partner.

In a separate high-profile matter, a court adjourned the trial of a prominent journalist and presenter regarding domestic violence allegations. The court ruled that the complainant must provide in-person testimony rather than a written statement. While the defense argued the incident was a “mutual verbal altercation” that did not meet the legal threshold for domestic violence, the court has maintained a restrictive order prohibiting the accused husband from approaching the presenter’s residence until the next hearing on September 1.
