New penal code
Article 110A of the new penal code does not exclude individuals convicted of terrorist acts and serving life terms from applying for conditional release from prison, nor does it prevent them as did the previous criminal code from serving their sentence under house arrest with a prison bracelet.
Conspiracy of Cells of Fire
The new penal code has abolished Article 282 of the previous one which excluded from later positive terms those convicted on terrorism and drug charges.
The new criminal code allows the merger of prior long sentences and lowers them to 25 years for the leaders of the Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire terrorist group, who can also petition for their release.
That pertains to Christos Tsakalos (79 year prison sentence), Gerasimos Tsakalos (71 year prison sentence), Olga Economidou (74 year prison sentence), Yorgos Nikolopoulos (83 year prison sentence), and Anargyros Dalios (24-year prison sentence).
