Good. Maybe Giulia Cecchettin's murder will be handled better.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A woman who claimed Greek authorities failed to conduct an effective investigation into her allegation of rape has won a resounding victory at the European court of human rights.

Almost three years after lodging the case, the complainant, from West Yorkshire, was said to be delighted after learning that the Strasbourg-based tribunal had criticised Greece over criminal proceedings that it said had “fallen short of the required standards”.

Describing the judgment as a “monumental moral victory”, her lawyer said it had not only exposed the Greek justice system’s failings but would set a precedent at a time when more UK tourists than ever visit the country.

Speaking to the Guardian, Michael Polak, whose legal aid group Justice Abroad took up the case, said: “She is delighted … this is a truly important ruling for the rights of victims of sexual offences in Greece and throughout Europe.

The woman, referred to as Ms X, from Dewsbury, was on holiday with her mother in Parga, a seaside town in north-west Greece, in September 2019 when she alleges the incident took place.

“The intimate nature of the subject matter, the applicant’s young age and the fact that she claimed to have been raped while on holiday in a foreign country called for a sensitive approach on the part of the authorities,” they said, noting that officials also failed to take measures to prevent the complainant from being further traumatised.
