Greek Judge Dismisses Charges Against Egyptians in Deadly Pylos Shipwreck Trial
May 21, 2024, 09:45 AM

The trial, which took place in Kalamata, faced scrutiny from rights groups and sparked protests outside the court.

However, a Greek judge dismissed the charges against the nine men, ending the trial.
