“She wasted my child’s life. He gnawed at her. I trusted his life to a murderer. How did I let this happen?
The boy’s mother cried and testified about the trust she showed in the 48-year-old defendant and the mental cost she “paid” for it, but also about the weight she feels because through her own family she came in contact with “Dr Kontos” and “I am the cause, they trusted him because we trusted him,” the family of the 14-year-old also died, surrendering to his alleged treatment.
According to the witness, the “pseudo-doctor” convinced her that her son, with brain cancer, would be completely cured. With 22 thousand euros paid to him for the spirits and injections they gave to the child, the accused when the boy slowly collapsed told them that everything was going well.
According to the mother of the child, her contact with the “great scientist” was made through “the Athens lawyer M.G. She had told me that she had entrusted one of her own people, her father, to an excellent scientist and that her father was doing extremely well, much better than with chemotherapy. We wanted complete healing, to get away from this adventure. She promised us. The lawyer spoke to me in great words, about a great CV, that it is not a matter of money, that he wants to help people. The first thing I got from the phone call with him is that there are treatments for a few that not all people can have. He told me “I can provide them”. I expressed doubts. The answer I got is that there are protocols, experimental, specialized, exclusively for this patient. “We were constantly looking for other treatments in America.”
Her meeting with the accused took place in a private clinic in Athens, where she asked to see the “doctor Mr. Kontos” and she was referred to a “very well-dressed gentleman, with a normal presence. He never wore a doctor’s uniform. He guides me to his office. At that time, an elderly couple was coming in. He tells me “this gentleman was the president of the Republic of Cyprus, he had end-stage cancer and do you see him now?” .. The next meeting took place at the end of June, she wanted to meet my husband and see the child. I was convinced that there is a weapon that can offer a complete cure to my child. I was happy … The fact that a doctor recommended me a lawyer was decisive for me “.
When the boy relapsed, before starting the “treatments” of the accused, according to what the witness testified, “Dr Kontos” reassured them that there was no relapse. “There is no recurrence. These are fictitious. We are starting treatment, because otherwise they will give you a paralyzed child, the treatment must start now “.
Two months after starting the “treatment” with herbs, however, the witness said, the child had lost 20 kg. My son used to tell me “I go to school just so I don’t see you with bottles and drops”. It withered day by day. I saw it and told Kontos that we want to go to Athens to make sure that the patient is admitted to the center of Switzerland. He replied “nothing is happening, all is well”. He presented my child to me as spoiled. “I also believed what he was telling me,” he said, weeping. She also said that even when her son vomited shortly before falling into a coma, the accused attributed them to gastroenteritis, constantly telling them “do not be afraid”.
