Greece's Supreme Court of Cassation, the Areios Pagos, has dismissed as inadmissible an appeal lodged by the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), headed by Laura Kövesi. The decision, taken in a closed session, was backed by a large majority — 72 members voted to dismiss, with 10 against.
The appeal concerned a ruling by the 11-member Supreme Judicial Council for Civil and Criminal Justice to extend by two years the terms of office of three Greek European Delegated Prosecutors: Popi Papandreou, Charikleia Thanu and Dionysios Mouzakis.
