Court Decision on the Videos from the Monastery of Saint Abbacum
August 4, 2025
The police will retain the videos from the Monastery of Saint Abbacum following a decision from the Supreme Court. Former archimandrite Nektarios requested the annulment of the retention order, claiming it was issued unlawfully. The videos contain personal and religious data of the monks and mention violence during an invasion of the monastery. Nektarios asserts that the submission of the evidence without the abbot's consent is legally invalid.
