Battle for the flag
Γράφτηκε απο   
A Greek-Canadian, who lost a court battle to keep the Greek flag, which he had painted on his garage in Montreal, has decided to relinquish his efforts. Theodore Antonopoulos was fined $138 by the Montreal Municipality for the huge Greek flag he painted on his garage after Greece’s win over Portugal in the European Cup finals in 2004. 

Antonopoulos challenged the fine in a legal suit, but lost the case in court. However, he appealed against the decision, reaching as far as the Supreme Court, which rejected the appeal. He said it was a family decision not to continue the legal battle.
