Nikos Paraskevopoulos (Greek: Νίκος Παρασκευόπουλος) is a Greek criminologist who is the Greek Minister of Justice, Transparency and Human Rights. He was a Professor of criminal law at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki's Law School.[1] In the Greek legislative election, September 2015, he was elected MP for the Thessaloniki A constituency with Syriza. He has also served as the Minister of Justice of Greece from 27 January to 28 August 2015.[2]
