K-word rant ‘a moment of madness’, says Catzavelos

“In my moment of madness that I had last year, I am completely embarrassed and utterly ashamed at what I did and what I said. I express my sympathy and sorrow to anyone who I upset and whose dignity I harmed,” he told the media following his brief court appearance.

Catzavelos will be back in court next month, when his new lawyer Lawley Shein will make submissions to the National Director of Public Prosecutions.

Shein also confirmed that Catzavelos is facing prosecution in Greece.
