Abbot Ephraim is in prison

The abbot of the Vatopedi Monastery Ephraim will be taken to prison by a panel of the Athens Board of Appeals. The judges resolved the dispute that had arisen after the apology of the accused in favor of the investigator Irini Kalou, who had from the beginning expressed the opinion that Mr. Ephraim should be sentenced to pre-trial detention…

Instead, the prosecutor was of the opinion that the accused should be released on restrictive terms that are a guarantee of 20.000 euros, a ban on leaving the country and appearing at the Police Department.

The members of the judicial council, however, evaluating the evidence of the case and the gravity of the criminal acts, showed with their council the way to prison.

All that remains now is for the interrogator to issue a temporary detention order and execute him with the arrest and bringing of Mr. Ephraim to prison. Source: Newsbeast.gr
