The shop and business car of 53-year-old Elias Michos, who is facing charges of raping and pimping a 12-year-old girl in the Athens district of Kolonos, were defaced during a protest rally held at the neighboring area of Sepolia on Saturday.
Protesters wrote slogans and threw paint on the shop’s front, while minor scuffles later erupted with anti-riot police.
