A trial in Rhodes concerning allegations of providing alcohol to a minor has been postponed until June 2027. The case involves a British family on holiday, with a stepfather, grandfather, and a shop owner facing charges.

The incident reportedly led to the 14-year-old boy being taken to the hospital for first aid. However, relatives of the minor dispute the account, asserting that the teenager consumed only soft drinks and attributing his illness to possible food poisoning.

The stepfather, 34, and the grandfather, 59, are charged with endangerment. The 52-year-old shop owner faces charges for supplying alcohol to a minor. According to the case file, the stepfather and grandfather allegedly allowed the 14-year-old to consume beers at the establishment.

The court decided to postpone the proceedings pending the results of the minor's blood tests. Criminal charges have been filed against the three individuals as misdemeanors.
