Golden Dawn MP charged over 2013 assault

A case file regarding Golden Dawn MP Ilias Kasidiaris’s behavior following an appearance before a magistrate two years ago has been forwarded to Parliament, which will have to decide whether to lift the lawmaker’s immunity.

Kasidiaris is accused of kicking and pushing journalists and cameramen as he walked away from Athens’s main court complex in October 2013, after being arrested as part of an operation to round up the party’s leadership, which is accused of forming a criminal gang.

Kasidiaris is currently standing trial along with party leader Nikos Michaloliakos and several other Golden Dawn MPs.
