Individuals charged for Nea Philadelphia clashes to start appearing before magistrates on Friday

The first of the over 100 people charged in connection with the violence around the AEK Athens stadium on the night of August 7 are to begin appearing before three examining magistrates assigned to the case on Friday afternoon.

Each magistrate is expected to process roughly 10-12 of the suspects a day until Sunday, when the process is expected to be complete.

Those facing charges, who numbered 105 on Friday following further arrests, will be asked to answer to criminal charges of forming a criminal organisation, causing explosions and possession of explosives, as well as a number of misdemeanours.

The list of charges also includes the murder of 29-year-old AEK fan Michalis Katsouris but none of the suspects has been charged with the killing so far as the perpetrator has yet to be identified.
