Law of GreeceModule 9
Criminal justice and specialised law: the Criminal Code and procedure, consumer and data protection, intellectual property, the environment, maritime law and international law
Greece’s criminal law is national: a Criminal Code and a Code of Criminal Procedure, both modernised in 2019, define offences, penalties and procedure. A case begins with an investigation supervised by a prosecutor, may include pre-trial detention decided by judicial bodies, and is tried in a misdemeanour or felony court, with appeals and cassation at the Supreme Court (Areios Pagos). The module also introduces the specialised fields that matter most to residents and owners: consumer protection, data protection under the GDPR, intellectual property, the environment, maritime law, a field where Greece has a major role, and international and European cooperation.
This course explains the law of Greece, not US law. Rules that look the same elsewhere may be different.

See what is included in the Courses & AI Lab Pass →General education on the law of Greece, using invented people and businesses. It states laws and procedures in simplified form and is not legal advice. The law and its practice change, and every case turns on its facts and the authority concerned. It does not offer legal representation or a legal opinion on any case. Consult a Greek lawyer for any real matter.
This course was written on 6 November 2026. To the best of our knowledge, it describes the law of Greece as it stood on that date. Laws change, and we may have missed or misunderstood something. If you notice a change, or have other information, please do not hesitate to contact us: we will review it and update the course. We do not claim to be the final source of the law.
