The Supreme Court of Greece has dismissed an appeal from Laura Codruța Kövesi, the head of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO), regarding the terms of European prosecutors in Greece. The appeal, deemed inadmissible, was rejected by a substantial majority of 72 votes in favor compared to 10 against. Kövesi's challenge was aimed at reversing a prior decision from the Supreme Judicial Council that renewed the mandates of three Greek prosecutors for two years instead of the sought five years.
The court's ruling affirmed the legal standing of the limited renewal as decided by the Supreme Judicial Council. The decision potentially paves the way for new selections for prosecutor roles within the EPPO. Kövesi's appeal raised questions about fairness and procedural adherence in the appointment process, but the court maintained that the current terms were appropriate under existing regulations.
