Roula Pispirigou Case: Three Forensic Doctors Suspended by Decision of Floridis

Significant developments have emerged following the announcement in the Roula Pispirigou case. According to reports, Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis has decided to suspend the duties of the three state forensic doctors involved. The suspended doctors are Christina Tsakona, Angeliki Tsiola, and Sokrates Tsandiris. Their duties have been suspended in the interest of public service after the trial documents were forwarded to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for investigation into the crime of false deposition. The court decided to forward these documents automatically to investigate potential criminal liabilities of the forensic doctors who submitted reports to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Athens under Article 39 of the Penal Code for the offense of false deposition. Roula Pispirigou was sentenced to two life terms for premeditated murder while in a calm mental state. During the verdict announcement, the 36-year-old addressed the bench, saying: “From the start, I believed in a fair trial and not one like that of Georgina. I will continue to say that it cannot be possible that all these people made mistakes about my children. You will all return to your children, but I will remain here,” while showing photos of her two daughters and stating: “Look at them because they will testify against you.” This is one of Greece’s most talked-about cases, involving a mother who killed all three of her children allegedly due to her relationship with her ex-husband.
