The head of Greece's extreme far-right Golden Dawn party, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, has been granted conditional early release from prison. This decision comes after serving part of his sentence for running a criminal organization responsible for violent hate crimes.
A council of judges approved Michaloliakos' request for early release, considering that he had met the minimal legal requirement and his age, being over 65, which increases the time he is formally considered to have served. Additionally, his poor health condition and 18 months spent in pre-trial detention were taken into account.
