On June 30, 2026, the Greek Government officially appointed Panagiotis Lyberopoulos as the new President of the Areios Pagos, Greece's Supreme Court, with Evangelos Bakeilas taking over as the new Prosecutor. This decision was made by the Cabinet, following a recommendation from Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis. The appointments received approval based on a favorable vote from senior judges and the parliamentary Conference of Presidents.

The new leadership marks a transition in the court, as the outgoing President, Anastasia Papadopoulou, and Prosecutor Konstantinos Tzavellas are set to leave their positions. Lyberopoulos is expected to serve a four-year term, while Bakeilas will have a two-year term in his new role. The change in leadership comes as part of ongoing reforms within the judicial system in Greece.
