A court in Mesolongi, western Greece, on Friday cleared Golden Dawn deputy Constantinos Barbarousis of any involvement in an incident at an open-air market in the town in September 2012 when migrants’ stalls were smashed.

A document tracing alleged attacks carried out by members and supporters of ultra nationalist Golden Dawn since 1996 was submitted to an Athens court on Tuesday.

Signed by the lawyers of an Egyptian fisherman assaulted by Golden Dawn members in Perama in 2012, among others, the memo provides information and witness accounts from 90 lawsuits filed against the party.

Expelled far-right lawmaker Stathis Boukouras, who was ousted from Golden Dawn in March after distancing himself from the party, has filed an appeal to be released from pre-trial custody.

A year after two members of neofascist Golden Dawn were shot dead outside the party’s offices in Neo Iraklio, north of Athens, police sources admitted that they have no leads to the killers.

“Although the perpetrators made mistakes, they were lucky as they did not leave adequate evidence to reveal their identities,” a police official told Kathimerini.
