How Greek Judges Weaponize the Law to Protect the Corrupt

My Journey Through the Greek Judicial System

An Orchestrated Web of Falsehoods

In 2015, I was deliberately entrapped in a fabricated case—an ordeal that exposed how deeply corrupted the Greek judicial system is. A woman, a martial arts champion involved in blackmail, falsely accused me of extortion and coercion over 12 years. She even presented two “witnesses” to support her claims.

But the truth destroyed her lies. My documented alibi proved I wasn’t even in the country during key periods she mentioned—I was abroad teaching thermodynamics. The so-called witnesses also turned against her in court, exposing her for pressuring them to lie. With this undeniable evidence, the prosecutor dismissed her accusations outright, and when I counter-filed, she was convicted of perjury and sentenced to 14 months in prison.

Justice Denied: A Corrupt System at Work

Despite her conviction, she repeated the same false accusations, and instead of being dismissed again, the Greek courts allowed this farce to continue. That’s when I saw firsthand how the system protects its own.

Judicial Bias: The judge illegally blocked a key witness—the accuser’s own former friend—who was prepared to testify that she had been coerced to lie. My lawyer formally requested this testimony multiple times, but the judge refused, knowing it would destroy the case.
Tampering with Court Records: The judge then falsified the official court transcript to erase any mention of my witness. My lawyer’s requests were deliberately omitted, and court records falsely claimed that our objections were made “off the record.” This is not just misconduct—it is a criminal act designed to cover up judicial wrongdoing.
Ignoring Clear Evidence: The judge dismissed undeniable proof already in the case file that confirmed the accuser’s lies. Instead, they relied on contradictory and unreliable testimony to push their agenda.

No Accountability, No Justice

I have appealed to every oversight authority—including the Minister of Justice, Mr. Floridis—and received nothing but silence. The system is designed to protect corrupt judges and politicians, ensuring that justice serves only those in power.

This is not just about me. It is about a judiciary that has been hijacked, where cases are decided not by law but by backroom deals and political influence. The only way to fight back is to expose them. When corruption thrives in silence, we must be louder.

Justice in Greece is not broken—it has been deliberately weaponized. And until it is exposed for what it is, it will continue to destroy lives.
