In response to publications in electronic and print media referring to the leak-publication of the notes attributed to the two 17-year-old minors who allegedly committed suicide and the reproduction of an image (video) from the scene of the incident, the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court ordered the Director of the Athens Prosecutor’s Office to conduct an urgent preliminary examination to establish self-prosecuted acts.
As the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court points out, “the electronic and printed media have been flooded, literally, with the unacceptable in every respect publication of the notes attributed to the two 17-year-old minors who allegedly committed suicide and with the reproduction of an image (VIDEO) from the scene of the incident, revealing, among other things, the identity of the victims and their relatives.”
Specifically, the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office notes that “the investigation of the leak-publication of the above is considered particularly imperative in view of the danger that the uncontrolled publication of relevant data and details may cause in the public sphere, in particular with regard to the possible mental burden or imitative effect on other vulnerable minors or persons with vulnerability and the need to protect the personality, memory and privacy of minors and their relatives’.
Furthermore, the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, after quoting some of the publications, asks the Prosecutor’s Office “to be seized by you or one of the Prosecutors of your Office for the investigation or not of crimes prosecuted ex officio.”
