On Wednesday, October 1st, 2014, the Korydallos prison court in Athens found anarchist comrades Yannis Michailidis, Nikos Romanos, Andreas-Dimitris Bourzoukos and Dimitris Politis (who have claimed political responsibility for the double armed robbery in Velventos, Kozani) as well as Fivos Harisis and Argyris Ntalios (who have denied all charges) guilty of:
- committing robbery while masked or disguised (except Dimitris Politis, who was convicted as an accessory)
- aggravated possession of firearms (for the guns used in the double expropriation)
- aggravated vehicle theft (for the car of the dentist-hostage used as a getaway vehicle)
Many individuals gathered in the special court room of the prison to show their solidarity with the comrades who were being sentenced.
After the counting and merging of the sentences, the terror court decided:
Yannis Michailidiss: 16 years, 4 months and 10 days
Nikos Romanos: 15 years and 10 months
Andreas-Dimitris Bourzoukos, Fivos Harisis, Argyris Ntalios: 15 years and 11 months
Dimitris Politis: 11 years and 5 months
All comrades were acquitted of the charge of participation in the CCF. However, there are other court cases underway that include the exact same accusation against the anarchist comrades.
Anarchist comrade Nikos Romanos was recently transferred to Korydallos prison:

Comrades Grigoris Sarafoudis and Yannis Naxakis were condemned to similar fates in July this year for the bank robbery in Pyrgetos (Larissa).
Solidarity and strength to all imprisoned anarchist fighters!
