Vasilis Kalogirou: His Mother Bids Farewell to the Prosecutor’s Office – ‘I Worked Having 2 Children and Leave with One in Memory’

A few months after the thriller that unfolded into tragedy with the disappearance and eventual discovery of the body of Vasilis Kalogirou, his mother, Sofia Kalogirou, announced on social media her farewell to the prosecutor’s office. It was December 30, 2024, when Vasilis left his family home in Larissa for a walk from which he never returned. His trail vanished, prompting a massive search operation. Finally, 50 days later, the body of the 39-year-old was found on a hill near Tyrnavos, shocking the nation amid suspicions of criminal activity. However, forensic examination attributed his death to myocardial ischemia caused by prolonged exhaustion and hypothermia. Today (July 1, 2025), Sofia Kalogirou, who served as head of the Larissa Court of Appeals Public Prosecutor’s Office, made a heartfelt Facebook post announcing her retirement. In her emotional message, she reflected on her decades-long career, the tragic loss of her son, and the pain of saying goodbye to her profession while holding onto faith, hope, and resilience.
