Evangelos Marinakis bought Olympiacos in 2010
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has gone on trial in Athens accused of instigating football violence and supporting a criminal organisation.
The 58-year-old, who owns Greek side Olympiacos, is accused, along with four other board members of two misdemeanour counts - instigating violence with statements against authorities and of supporting a criminal group between 2019 to 2024.
Marinakis, who was represented by his lawyer Vassilis Dimakopoulos in court, and the other Olympiacos board members have dismissed misdemeanour charges as groundless.
"The accusations are totally baseless," Marinakis' lawyer, told BBC Sport earlier today.
