During the 36th session of the trial for the CCF attacks, Vassilis Foukas was among the inculpatory witnesses. Vassilis Foukas was one of the main members (an official) of the judicial mafia. He served as deputy chairman of the Court of Appeal for the 17N case and as an Investigator for the cases of 17N, ELA, 1 May, for the case of Michalis Prekas’ assassination and for the case of the Gyzi armed clash where Christos Tsoutsouvis and 3 cops died.

Foukas showed up looking pretty cool in the court room since he was familiar with the environment. CCF comrades are being accused of an arson attack at his house in 2009. After he testified -during his examination by the judges- that he was terrified by the attack, and that if it hadn’t been for him, his wife would have been dead, it was the CCF comrades’ turn to ask questions. It was then when his old investigative capacity woke up… Since the questions proved that he abused his judicial power (by accessing witnesses’ testimonies etc) he was visibly annoyed by this and started being rowdy through his answers. At some point when he felt that he was being “cornered” he broke off his testimony and started leaving the court room before the questions were over. Then the CCF comrades attacked him.

One of them jumped over the court benches towards him and cut his road and another one gave him a strong slap. Before the other comrades jump in, the cops managed to help him escape. Before that, the ex-prosecutor had said “I don’t have to answer anything!” just to get the response by a comrade “Asshole we burned your house, now we will bomb it…”. The court adjourned and decided that the witness should be called again so that the questions can be completed.
