Georgios

After months of legal proceedings, the trial of troubled jewelry maker Folli Follie has entered its final stretch, as the defendants' pleas have been completed and a date has been set for the prosecutor's recommendation. 

The defendants are charged with falsifying balance sheets and financial offenses and forming a criminal organization. 

There appears to be no end to the legal saga involving troubled Greek jewelry company Folli Follie as the trial that had been scheduled to resume on Monday was again postponed until September 14.

Barring any unlikely event, the Folli Follie trial is expected to begin on June 19 at the Court of Appeal for Felony Cases, as the Athens Bar Association has stated that the lawyers will attend the trial with special permission.

The head of Cyprus' Orthodox Church Archbishop Georgios formally assumed his new duties Sunday following an enthronement ceremony evoking the splendor of centuries of Byzantine tradition before an audience of clergy from around the world with the notable exception of the Russian church.
