Former Greek president Christos Sartzetakis dies, aged 92

Former Greek president Christos Sartzetakis handed away on Thursday morning in a hospital in Athens the place he was receiving therapy for pneumonia. He was 92.

In 1963 he grew to become broadly identified when, as a choose in Thessaloniki, he carried out the investigation into the homicide of the left-wing member of Parliament, Grigoris Lambrakis, by two right-wing extremists.

The killing provoked mass protests and led to a political disaster in Greece.

Sartzetakis presided over the case and helped clear up it, regardless of stress from the right-wing political and judicial management of the instances to cowl up the crime.
