Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Leader Nikos Michaloliakos Released on Parole in Greece

Nikos Michaloliakos, founder of the far-right Golden Dawn party, has been granted early release after serving part of his 13-year sentence for leading a criminal organization.

Michaloliakos was convicted in 2020 for crimes including the murder of an anti-fascist musician and attacks on immigrants.
His early release, based on health concerns and age, has sparked outrage among anti-fascists and victims' families.
Golden Dawn, known for its violent neo-Nazi activities, failed to secure seats in recent Greek elections.
Despite the party's decline, Michaloliakos' release has raised fears of a far-right resurgence in Greece.
Legal restrictions include a travel ban within Athens and no contact with former Golden Dawn members.
