Leader of Golden Dawn Nikos Michaloliakos, parliamentarian Christos Pappas and deputy Yiannis Lagos are in separate cells in a special separate part of the women's wing of the prison in Korydallos. While awaiting the trial against them, they will go out separately and will not have any contacts with each other or with other prisoners.

According to sources, the initial plans were to put them in the cells of the already released members of the terrorist organization "17 November". According to commentators, however, a similar scenario in the prison of Korydallos will literally provoke a clash "between the two extremes", bearing in mind the fact that the ideological and operational leaders of the group, Alexandros Giotopoulous and Dimitris Koufodinas, are there too. Ultimately, this option has been rejected in order to avoid possible conflicts of ideological and other nature.

Other sources claim that Michaloliakos and Pappas, respectively described in the indictment as the leader and deputy leader of a criminal organization, will stay in the VIP wing of the prison. Former Minister of Defence Akis Tsochatzopoulous, football boss Makis Psomiadis, former director of Alter TV Costas Yiannikos and others are in the same wing and, as reported by some media, the detainees in question have sent a letter of protest in which they oppose the possibility of being in neighbouring cells with the extremists.

Head of the local branch of Golden Dawn in the suburb of Nikea George Patelis will be taken to the prison in Maladrino where George Roupakias who has confessed to the murder of rap singer Pavlos Fyssas is imprisoned as well.
