The verdict in the trial of the ultra-right party Golden Dawn - a trial unprecedented on a global scale in recent history - is due to be announced by an Athens Criminal Appeals Court. With its ruling, the court is called on to decide whether the accused are guilty or not guilty of forming a criminal organisation and to provide an answer to an issue of critical legal and social importance, which will have a profound impact on the present and future, regarding a political party that was elected to the Greek and European parliaments in three separate elections. Based on the charges, Golden Dawn was a criminal organisation that had the legal form of a party and enjoyed enhanced constitutional protection as a result. EPA/ORESTIS PANAGIOTOU
