The trial of Petros Filippidis was finally adjourned for March 28, following a relevant request by his defense attorney, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, who referred to the health problem of the accused for crimes against sexual freedom.

The prosecutor of the headquarters also agreed with the interruption, emphasizing that "it is an inalienable procedural right of the accused to appear at the hearing.

He stated through his lawyers that he wants to appear and participate, to ask questions why he is accused of crimes of great criminal value. "Although his health problem does not arise from documents, I will suggest that his request be accepted, so that he can appear in court."

Earlier, in the responsible statement submitted by Mr. Dimitrakopoulos, he stated:

"Mr. Filippidis is not present before you for health reasons. He has a serious health problem, he has lost 25 kilos. You will see a Filippidis that you will not believe, his image has nothing to do with it. It is a court here, not a theatrical performance ".

Early in the morning, the actors Anna Maria Papacharalambous, Lena Drosaki and her husband, Alexandros Bourdoumis, Penelope Anastassopoulou, Evelina Papoulias, Zeta Douka and Spyros Bibilas arrived in court.

The list of witnesses includes actors Katia Dandoulaki, Chryssa Pappas, Lena Drosaki and Evelina Papoulias, a fact that was confirmed by his lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, noting: who propose these women as witnesses in court. "Mr. Filippidis will be 'present' and he will answer".
