The man who had filed charges against Metropolitan Panteleimon of Brazzaville and Gabon in 2013 has been sentenced by the three-member magistrates’ court of Athens to 12-month imprisonment for repeating defamatory reputation attacks.
According to the announcement by the Metropolis of Brazzaville, the decision of the three-member magistrates’ court of Athens finally conceded that the dissemination of that person, made public on the Internet, constituted the concepts of malfeasance, slander, threat and insult.
It is recalled that “the criminal proceedings initiated on January 14, 2015 against Metropolitan Panteleimon, then Bishop of Brazzaville and Gabon, on the basis of alleged allegations by several people on forgery of priestly text and creating a scandal (indecent exposure), have been completed and the findings of the judicial authorities of the Republic of Congo are final and irrevocable.”
It is further emphasized that in this way “it has been fully and expressly proven that there has never been an incident of forgery or indecent exposure, nor has there ever been any unlawful act committed by Metropolitan Panteleimon of Brazzaville and Gabon since the day of hiw arrival in Congo-Brazzaville (February 8, 2013) until today.”
