Death of Sifi Valyraki: The Prosecutor of Chalkida requests that the two defendants be tried for manslaughter

The arraignment before the Joint Jury of the two fishermen accused of murdering the former minister Sifi Valyrakithe competent prosecutor recommends to the Judicial Council of Chalkida.

The public prosecutor’s office, after studying the case file and evaluating the material gathered for the case, requests the Council of Misdemeanors of Chalkida to refer the two fishermen on trial on the charge of voluntary manslaughter committed in a calm state of mind.

In a statement by the advocates of the family of the deceased, it is stated:

“With her proposal dated 17.10.2022 with protocol number 257/2022, the competent prosecutor of the First Instance of Chalkida proposes the referral to trial of the accused for the murder of Sifis Valyrakis on 24.1.2021 in Eretria.

The prosecution’s motion calls for the perpetrators to be indicted before the Joint Jury for the offense of intentional homicide jointly and in a calm state of mind.

This is the fourth judgment in a row by a public prosecutor directly responsible for the case, who characterizes as serious and sufficient the evidence of the commission of the crime by the perpetrators. The only opposing opinion has been expressed by the already criminally and disciplinary prosecutor who had initially filed the case.

Once again it is proven that from piles of findings and elements of the case file, which we documented and evaluated, serious indications emerged that his death was not due to an accident, but to an intentional homicide with the perpetrators of the defendants. And serious questions are raised about the correctness of replacing their temporary detention despite the seriousness of the evidence and the offense just a month after its imposition and the message it conveys.

With rich and detailed reasoning, the prosecutor Ms. Gnesoulis evaluates all the evidence, highlights the circumstances of the commission of the offense and the credibility of the critical eyewitnesses of the prosecution and the findings of the forensic and technical reports, while fully deconstructing and refuting all the defense claims submitted .

After that, we expect the issuance of a writ of citation by the competent Council of Misdemeanors of Chalkida and the speedy determination of the trial.”
