The interrelation between the jurisdiction of the Greek Supreme Court and the trial courts Theexampleof article518of thegreekCode for Criminal Procedure Konstantinos E. Chatziioannou Lawyer, LLM, PhD, Postdoctoral Researcher of IKY ISBN 978-960-622-842-1 Abstract: The present book refers to the possibility of the Greek Supreme Court to find the accused not guilty. Despite the fact that the Supreme Court upon the ap- proval of a cassation in law refers the case to the competent court, there are some cases where it shall decide on the acquittal of the accused due to violation of law (: Article 518 of the Greek Code for Criminal Procedure).The book examines the pos- sibility of the acquittal of the accused during the pretrial phase of the criminal pro- cedure, the feasibility of an acquittal of the accused not only due to false application and interpretation of law, but also due to lack of reasoning and criticizes the jurisdic- tion of the Greek Supreme Court that leads not only to the acquittal but also to the conviction of the accused.
