procedure at a police station reporting assault

[wka]

Just trying to help.

having just spoken to my lawyer friend, and after assuring him I had not been drinking, he assures me that no such law exists.....it would appear you aer being taken for a ride.

Consult a lawyer yourself and see what you can do

Thanks, wka I appreciate that! I just simply don't want things to get worse for my relative if anyone reads this and finds out the specific police station because my relative has had a very hard time dealing with sometimes very unhelpful authorities and I simply want to protect her.

Thanks Xenos, this is a valuable contribution, as we now see that there is a problem with maybe just one police station or that someone invented a law somewhere and makes people believe they have to pay, or that lawyers and policemen are not informed in the same way throughout Greece. I am positive I not being taken on a ride. I talked to a trusted family member and a trusted friend who both confirmed this emphatically with detailed description. I am no less puzzled than you by this, but one day it will emerge what is going on and I will post here if I find out any explanation for this mind twisting puzzle...

.....

maybe the local policeman / chief involved needed money for coffee!

The Police are not as aware of the laws as in other countries.....some still insist on issuing a Residents Permit, when it went out of existence years ago, being replaced by the permanent Certificate of Registration...a point which I have argued over several times here.

As I know nothing about the situation, I can only guess - perhaps there is a language issue here?
