As Mr Mitropoulos stated, the court awarded 200,000 euros each to the wife and three children of the deceased, amounting to a total of 800,000 euros.

Lawyer Spyros Fremenditis, commenting on the case, noted: “In the first instance the court ruled on the facts. It is the Single-judge Disctrict Court of Athens. It delivered justice. The wife and three children were left behind, and each of them was awarded 200,000 euros.”
