12 months imprisonment for Dimitris Kalaitzidis
Apollon Pontos coach Dimitris Kalaitzidis has been found guilty of violence and insults. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, reports NEWS24/7.
The coach of Apollon Pontos, Dimitris Kalaitzidis, has been sentenced to a total of 12 months in prison after complaining about an incident involving a manager of Veria a few days ago on the sidelines of the football match between the two teams in the Super League 2 championship in Polykastro Stadium in Kilkis.
As reported by NEWS24/7, the three-person Administrative Offenses Court in Kilkis found the 66-year-old trainer guilty of violence and insults within the meaning of the Sports Act as part of the spontaneous proceedings.
The court neither stayed the sentence nor granted a stay of appeal. However, he postponed the execution of the judgment by six months with a special provision of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
With the same decision, Mr. Kalaitzidis must be present at the police station for the next two years at the matches between Apollon Pontos and Veria.
He himself rejected the allegations in his apology.
