[Intime News]
Former National Theatre director Dimitris Lignadis was released from Athens’ Korydallos prison on Thursday afternoon, after posting a 30,000-euro bail set by a Mixed Jury Court, which found him guilty on two counts of rape on Wednesday.
The two rapes Lignadis was convicted of occurred in 2010 and 2015. The court handed him a 12-year suspended jail sentence.
Lignadis, who has denied all the charges, told journalists as he exited that “the truth will be established” at the end of the judicial process.
