Eleni Zaroulia, a former member of the Greek Parliament and the wife of the former leader of the Golden Dawn party, Nikos Michaloliakos, has been sentenced to five years in prison following her conviction in the Golden Dawn trial. The decision was made by the Athens Court of Appeal, which rejected her request to have her sentence converted into a monetary one. Initially sentenced to six years in prison, her sentence had been suspended pending the appeal, but now she must serve her time in prison as the court upheld the conviction.

Along with Zaroulia, three other defendants, Chrisoavalantis Alexopoulos, Stathis Boukouras, and Antonis Gregos, were granted temporary measures that involve restrictions, including a ban on leaving the country, after having their requests for suspended sentences approved by the court. The Golden Dawn trial has been a landmark case in Greece, highlighting the actions of the ultra-nationalist party and its members who have been implicated in various acts of violence and criminal activity.

The court's decisions reflect the ongoing legal scrutiny of the Golden Dawn party, with several of its prominent members receiving substantial prison sentences, including Nikos Michaloliakos and others who have been sentenced to 13 years in prison for leading a criminal organization. This trial marks a significant moment in Greek politics and law, as it signifies a rejection of extreme nationalist ideologies and serves as a reminder of the need for accountability in political conduct.
