Shame! Free Despite Attempted Rape
A Greek court released a Sudanese man accused of attempted rape despite previous charges, while authorities fined a Greek citizen 270,000 euros for abandoning kittens.
The state apparatus exhausts all its severity toward the “correction” of Greek citizens, yet shows sensitivities when it comes to citizens of foreign origin.
For example, a fine of 270 thousand euros was imposed on a 55-year-old man in Thessaloniki who abandoned nine kittens in a remote area of Kalamaria. An act certainly condemnable, which however does not negate the crushing severity of the fine.
At the same time, in Athens, a Sudanese man was released, who had been arrested for attempted rape.
According to information from the website Newsbomb, the foreigner on June 2 trapped a business owner inside her shop on Menandrou Street and attempted to rape her. Subsequently, he broke into a polyclinic with a knife. After a manhunt he was arrested, but was then released and is circulating freely.
Although his past appears burdened, as since 2021 he has been charged with two attempted rapes, indecent assault and robbery, instead of pre-trial detention he was merely given restrictive conditions:
- Not to approach the woman
- To report to the Police Station of his area
- Prohibition from leaving the country
Specifically, according to what the television station STAR reports: In 2024 the foreigner was imprisoned with a sentence of three years for attempted robbery, theft and carrying a weapon. Three months later he was out again. In 2025 he was arrested again for indecent assault.
Despite the fact that he is illegally in Greece, the competent authorities cannot proceed immediately with administrative deportation, as the open court cases and pending criminal matters he faces require his presence in the country until the completion of the relevant procedures.
Once again, therefore, the image is created that the state shows leniency toward lawbreaking, leaving the Greek citizen with a sense of insecurity and anxiety in the face of such incidents, which, according to common perception, are increasing lately.
The Greek citizen often feels unable to protect himself and his property, with the result that his trust is shaken both toward the state and toward the institutions, with responsibility lying with the governments that have assumed governance of the country from the Metapolitefsi to the present day. These observations are not presented as a personal opinion, but as a reflection of a broader social climate of concern.
