Rizoslaw commented on #LioliosGate and its media coverage, recalling the inscription "Publication is the soul of justice" on the building of the Journalists' Union of Greece. He wrote that a few weeks ago the relevant authorities arrested the president of the Hellenic Basketball Federation and five other individuals, on charges that, as he mentioned, were based on the provisions for a criminal organization. According to him, around 1 million in cash was discovered during the investigations, and the six were placed in preventive detention or restriction due to the seriousness of the acts, while the investigation continued. Meanwhile, he noted that the presumption of innocence applies and that the case will be judged by the natural judge. Rizoslaw criticized journalists who deal with basketball, saying that instead of investigating the case, they presented it as something ordinary or insignificant. In his description, they invoked, among other things, that similar incidents had occurred in the past, that it was worse during Vasilakopoulos' tenure, the presumption of innocence, and the credibility of witnesses. He also mentioned as part of the coverage references to the posts of the DJ and criticism of Panathinaikos, as well as derogatory remarks about fans. He wrote that the case was treated as just another instance of "they're all the same," despite the six detentions or restrictions. He concluded by wondering why, in his opinion, some were trying to deconstruct the search for truth, whom it served, and who controls a "journalistic army." #paobc #paobcaktor #paofc #δημοσιογραφία #καλαθοσφαίρα #αλήθεια (translated)
