July 17, 2026

The trial of George Christodoulou, known as Zavrantonas, continues with the cross-examination of the main witness, Yiannis Andreou, also known as Maronas. A video was shown from Maronas's house where 15 kilograms of cocaine were found. Third parties, including the deputy police chief, were mentioned during the proceedings. Maronas initially took responsibility for the drug quantity in 2019 but later changed his testimony, naming Zavrantonas as the mastermind. This procedure is considered crucial for the court's decision.
