Neo -Nazi leader of the Golden Hall, who is early released from prison

Nikos Michalaliacas, leader of the Greek Neo -Nazi Party “Golden Dawn”, was released from prison less than halfway before his punishment.

The established right-wing politician and denial of the Holocaust was allowed by the court council to serve the rest of his 13-year sentence within his home on Friday’s health, state media reports.

The conditional release of the 67-year-old age after five years of imprisonment angered left-wing parties, arguing the judiciary, should not be pardon.

For the second time, when Michalaliacas was permitted after the conviction in 2020 on the occasion of the litany of severe attacks on immigrants and political opponents who committed Golden supporters.

It was briefly released in May 2024, AFP reports the news agency before the court officials found that he did not properly show good behavior and made him return to prison.

Michalaliacas founded and managed a party that was recognized as a criminal organization related to the murder of anti -fascist musician, as well as for trying to kill Egyptian fishermen and communist activists.

He became the third election in Greece in 2012 in anti-immigrant, nationalist voting caused by economic difficulties due to the financial crisis of the country.

Michalaliacas himself was a supporter of Nazism and gave Hitler salute at party actions. While Golden Dawn officially denied being a neo -Nazi movement, it accepted Nazi iconography.

He and his former deputies were found guilty of running or belonging to a criminal group.

The new Left Party of Greece stated in a statement to the state media that the liberation of Michalaliacas “a serious blow to collective memory and the fight for democracy and justice”, adding that the justice system “could not send a message about the impunity of those who embodied hatred and fascism.”

The Country Communist Party has stated that the decision should be abolished by adding that the “crime” of the gold dawn is not limited in the minds of people and youth. “
