Stance changes on Zachopoulos DVD source
Government could name journalist
Ekathimerini

The ruling conservatives had until yesterday backed Andrianos's right as a journalist not to reveal information about his sources. This stance drew some criticism, as opposition politicians in particular felt that the government was hampering the investigation into the case.

It is not clear exactly what prompted the government to rethink its position but spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos said that he would "respect" Andrianos's decision if the press officer chose to reveal the identity of the journalist in question to magistrates.

The ESIEA journalists' union also appeared to give Andrianos the green light yesterday. After a meeting of the union's board, ESIEA issued a statement saying that protection of sources "should not become an alibi for covering up illegal activities and oversights."However, police experts who have examined the footage on the DVD have advised investigating magistrates that the video has been edited and that some scenes are missing.

Mr Zachopoulos, the chief of staff at the Culture Ministry, jumped from a fourth-floor flat in central Athens hours after losing his job by prime ministerial order. He remains in a critical but stable condition, unable to talk to investigators

Heracles Koutelidas, a lawyer acting for Ms Tzekou, threw himself in front of a van, claiming that he was the victim of a witch-hunt and had been "labelled a blackmailer by the media". He survived.

These guys need lessons or else they'll never make the Darwin Awards.
