January 23, 2026

The Supreme Constitutional Court rejected Panikos Chatzipanagi's appeal regarding his promotion at RIK. His promotion had already been annulled by the lower court due to Giannis Nikolaou's seniority. The judge stated that the oral interview could not outweigh Nikolaou's qualifications. Ultimately, the costs of the procedure were imposed on Chatzipanagi. This decision is seen as a victory for Nikolaou.
