Proceedings for Doria Varotsioti's Objection in the Supreme Court

August 25, 2025

Today, the proceedings begin at the Supreme Constitutional Court regarding the objection filed by Doria Varotsioti related to the termination of her appointment as a district judge. Ms. Varotsioti was temporarily appointed in July but the Supreme Judicial Council decided against making her appointment permanent. Her request for reinstatement was also rejected. Both parties have submitted written pleadings that are now before the court. Ms. Varotsioti had previously issued a report on the death of National Guardsman Thanasis Nikolaou, concluding that it was a homicide rather than suicide.
