Professor and politician mr. Theodoros Kachanevas filed a serious lawsuit against a writer of Wikipedia, mr. Dimitris Liourdis, regarding an entry** to his Wikipedia biography. Kachanevas bypassed all of Wikimedia's protocols and attacked directly to a writer. Moreover, DIU ( writer's username) substantiated his claims with evidence taken by trustworthy second-party sources. The lawsuit included a fine as big as 200.000 euros (plus interest) and a year of personal detainment. Of course, Wikipedia took action accusing mr. Kachanevas of censorship, supporting DIU with proper jurisprudence and financial support. Mr. Kachanevas answered Wikipedia's claims by supporting that they freely permit defamation to enter their articles.
**The entry refferd to the will of ex- Prime Minister of Greece G. Papandreou where he called Kachanevas a discrace and an exploiter. At the time, G. Papandreou was his father-in-law. The public stood with DIU calling Kachanevas deplorable and a hypocrite.
