Greek top court orders charges against far-right MPs for deceiving voters

Greece’s Supreme Court prosecutor has recommended charges against 11 far-right lawmakers for deceiving voters in the June 2023 national election by taking guidance from a jailed politician. If the lawmakers’ election is annulled, their seats could be distributed to other parties in the parliament. The real leader of the Spartans party was found to be Ilias Kasidiaris, not the official leader Vassilios Stigas. Kasidiaris is expected to be charged, but he denies any wrongdoing. The case could impact the party ahead of the European Parliament elections in June.
