It is recalled that the Three-Member Court of Appeal for Criminal Cases decided on 7 October 2020 to condemn the criminal organisation Golden Dawn, including MEP Yannis Lagos, refusing to give a suspensive effect to the execution of his sentence.
Specifically, on 13 September 2019, he was sentenced to eight months' suspended imprisonment for the attack on the Synergy social space in 2013, while on 7 October 2020 he was convicted for his activity with Golden Dawn and charged with setting up a criminal organisation. He was given a sentence of 13 years and 8 months in prison without parole.
