Attorney General Appeals Giannis Giannakis's Sentence

September 26, 2025

The Attorney General has appealed the sentence of Giannis Giannakis, former Commissioner of Volunteerism, regarding the use of forged documents. The appeal questions the severity of the imposed sentences based on the seriousness of the offenses. It is argued that the gravity of the misconduct and Giannakis's financial benefits were not adequately considered. Interestingly, Giannakis had also filed his own appeal, focusing on the succession of sentences. This case involves two incidents from 1995 and 1996, for which he received 18-month prison sentences.
