Singer Antonis Remos files defamation complaint against anonymous blog operators in Attica

The visit to police

Antonis Remos went to the Attica police headquarters (GADA) at midday on Friday, 30 October 2026. He reported to the Electronic Crime Prosecution Directorate, where he filed a criminal complaint against those running anonymous blogs that, in his view, defame him. His lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, confirmed the visit and said the filing targets all those responsible for the blogs. An early NewsIT report said the reason for the visit was not yet known, before the lawyer's statement clarified it.

What the lawyer said

In a statement, Dimitrakopoulos set out Remos's position on the media and on the complaint.

“Antonis Remos respects the institutional role of all media and information outlets, small and large, but there is a red line, and that is defamation.”

The statement adds that the singer will take legal action. It draws a distinction between legitimate media coverage, which Remos says he respects, and defamatory content, which he says crosses the line.

The social media group behind the complaint

NewsIT reports that the complaint concerns a social media group with thousands of members. The group had been discussing the 'Chouriatiko' case, and according to information cited by NewsIT, some of its comments hinted that Remos was involved in that case. The articles do not explain the case itself. Because the blogs are anonymous, the complaint is directed at people who have not been identified in the reporting.
