Decision on Judge Doria Varosiotou's Return to Duties
February 6, 2026
The Constitutional Supreme Court is set to decide whether Judge Doria Varosiotou will return to her duties. Her application seeks to overturn her suspension, which is related to her report on the circumstances of Thanasis Nikolaou's death. The judge had determined that the death was due to criminal activity, but the Supreme Court deemed this legally flawed. There is legal uncertainty surrounding the suspension of judges and the application of European regulations. The decision will be made by eight judges of the Constitutional Council.
