Allow me, as a greek, to disagree. Planting evidence and holding people without any evidence is the specialty of the greek police. The recent wave of racism and xenophobia outbreaks in my country is most likely the reason they're still being held. There are reports indicating that 50% of the members of the police voted for Golden Dawn, a greek neonazi political party. So yeah, no, we are not a western country, yes, we are a backwater banana republic. Unfortunately, the little press coverage the incident has sparked in Greece, is all pretty much saying "spies caught on lemnos, pretending to be game developers". The public opinion seems to agree aswell to this sentiment, the reason being the one i stated above.

I would kindly request everyone in this thread to not form their opinions on Greece and Greek people in general by the quite vocal one here. I am Greek myself and i have had experience with how the greek authorities work for various cases involving me and my close friends and i can tell you this much: there are multitude of cases on people being held in jail with little to no evidence, unfortunately it's the way things work here. I hope BI has hired a Greek lawyer because without proper knowledge of how things really work here, your devs could be in jail for a long time. Court dates are rarely appointed before atleast 8 months have passed since charges are made and if they have even a suspicion of someone commiting a criminal offense, they will keep em in jail. It's really late and i wanna take my time to read through this thread, but i will post again sometime tomorrow with more general information. Also, if someone could shed a light to wether they are imprisoned, or held in jail while awaiting trial would be helpful so i can give useful information about each case. Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, i can just give information about how things usually work here.
