A 37-year-old man in Thessaloniki has been sentenced to 28 months in prison by the Single-Member Misdemeanor Court for domestic violence. The defendant was found guilty of causing physical harm to his 29-year-old partner and making threats, including incidents that occurred in the presence of their 2.5-year-old daughter.

The victim testified that the defendant struck her in the face with his head, causing bleeding from the nose and mouth that required medical attention. She reported that several violent incidents had taken place over the preceding month. Although the victim stated that her relationship with the defendant had been restored and requested leniency, the court ruled that the sentence would not have a suspensive effect, resulting in his immediate transfer to a correctional facility. The defendant admitted to the actions, citing anger and emotional distress.
