A witness had named the two brothers claiming that they got involved with the former Minister who had gone fishing in January 2021 and was later found dead.
The two fishermen facing the charge of intentional homicide against former Minister Sifi Valyrakis were remanded in custody.
A witness had named the two brothers claiming that they got involved with the former Minister who had gone fishing with his inflatable from his house in Eretria in January 2021. Several hours later he was found dead.
The two men initially claimed he was not at sea that day. But they themselves changed their testimony and said they saw a different boat approaching the former minister.
Advocates of the Valyraki family: The only need is the administration of justice
The only need of Sifi Valyrakis’s family is “the full investigation of the circumstances of her death, the administration of justice and the prevention of concealment,” said in a statement issued a few days ago the two lawyers of the family, Manolis Fotakis and Costas Papadakis, adding that Sifis Valyrakis owes it not only to his family, but also to the State and society.
The statement said that the defendants’ side now abandons the accident theory which it strongly supported until yesterday and now now admits the existence of the other boat, “that is, the murder in essence and ‘even offers’ to give evidence to the interrogation”.
