The private criminal case of Thanassis Nikolaou has begun with preliminary objections from the defendants' lawyers. There was an objection concerning bias regarding prosecutor Savvas Matsas, as the lawyers argue that the indictment is invalid. It is noted that Mr. Matsas has made public statements that could influence the case. The lawyers are concerned that the process will not be fair without an independent prosecutor.
