In the picture accompanying the article, why are the signs being held written in the Latin alphabet (not Cyrillic) using English words?
(Oh, it’s all a joke, even if reported as news).

But, if it’s not a joke, Benjamin, the apparent answer is that it won’t matter, since the Greek lawyers all speak and write in English using the Latin alphabet, and the perps read and write Greek using Cyrillic letters. So, it’s still a joke on someone.
