In real life, the prosecutor who prevailed in the face of official opposition, Christos Sartzetakis (played here by Jean-Louis Trintignant), was later arrested by the junta and imprisoned and tortured. Upon the restoration of democracy in 1974 he was honored for his service and appointed to the Greek Supreme Court in 1982. Eventually he was proposed by PASOK for the presidency of Greece. He served one term as president from 1985 to 1990.
