Court ruling in favor of Eleni Socratus regarding the book 'Eleni the Whore'

January 20, 2026

There has been a judicial overturn in the case of the book 'Eleni the Whore' as the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Eleni Socratus. In 2016, her lawsuit was dismissed by the District Court, but now it has been decided that she will receive over €25,000 in damages. The judges noted that the initial court's decision was erroneous, as it involved an infringement on Socratus's privacy. Additionally, she was awarded €3,400 in appeal costs. The ruling was based on the nature of the information included in the book, which pertained to personal and sexual matters.
