The president of the Supreme Court has ordered a disciplinary investigation into the judicial officials who handled the case involving the urban planning corruption ring on the island of Rhodes.
The investigation follows the decision by local judicial authorities to release the individuals allegedly involved in the ring pending trial, despite serious evidence suggesting participation in a criminal organization and other offenses.
The defendants were released under restrictive conditions after providing their testimonies.
The decision not to impose pre-trial detention was made by the investigating judge and the prosecutor at the Rhodes Court of First Instance.
