ArmA 3 developers trial delayed as Greek justice system strike continues
By Tim Colwill on October 16, 2012 at 5:55 pm
September’s news that a pair of ArmA III developers had been arrested and charged with espionage on the Greek island of Limnos was distressing for many, but the news that their trial has been pushed back due to the entire Greek justice system going on strike is possibly even more so.
A statement issued by the pair’s lawyer Panagiotis Eleftherioy, via a website dedicated to bringing the developers home, reads: “As many of you know, the justice system in Greece is on indefinite strike. These strikes last at least until October 20. According to Greek law, a case has to be on trial within 120 days after arrest.”
Eleftherioy also added that community members could assist by writing to Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy, as well as sourcing images of military objects and/or installations on Limnos that are freely available online, saying: “Such material can be of great help, and some of it is already used in the case.”

The whole thing is ridiculous and I hope for the sake of the developers arrested that it gets sorted out quickly.
Hypothetically speaking, if the case isn’t put on trial within the 120 days, what happens?
bek,
They’d be let go without charge most likely, there’d be no case against them and would need to be let out.
dreamstorm,
I think not,I am all for injustice righted if that is what we have here,but espionage is a serious charge.If someone was charged with murder and the courts were on strike do you believe they would just let the person go?
