Nobody is trying to brand you a liar. It is the applicant's job to ensure that their application is accurate, and leaving out a conviction is a serious issue. You are not trying to convince anybody on this forum. You are trying to convince the Minister of Justice and Equality that your wife is of good character, and she feels remorse for her action. A remorse letter normally helps.
You can of course argue that you didn't know about the summons and you moved away from that country immediately, but that in itself is not an argument. Whether you knew about the summons or not, a conviction is a conviction.
You should really ask for an immigration solicitor's opinion on whether you should withdraw or withhold your application. Telling INIS that you need more time to get a police clearance certificate, when you have already got one, is inappropriate. They might have already got the information from the Greek counterpart - you never now.
