Greek Supreme Court Dismisses Laura Kövesi's Appeal on Prosecutor Term Limits

On June 24, 2026, the Greek Supreme Court issued a ruling regarding an appeal by Laura Kövesi, the head of the European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO).

The court found that the EPPO lacked the legal standing to challenge Greece's domestic law, which limits the terms of prosecutors to two years, rather than the five years that Kövesi sought.

This decision underscores the complexities surrounding the authority of EU institutions in relation to national legal frameworks.
