With a lawsuit against the doctors of the Karamandani Hospital for responsibilities that led in April 2021 to Georgina’s protest, from which the child was left a quadriplegic, today’s proceedings began before the MOD that is trying Roula Pispirigou.

The attorney sued to investigate the doctors for bodily injury due to the negligence of the obligee but also for the offenses of false certification and false testimony, as he believes that they made a wrong assessment of Georgina’s condition and that the child suffered a seizure due to their own responsibility.

Alexis Kougias also requested that the pediatric cardiologist Angeliki Karatza be summoned to testify in court and to read the statement given in the context of the inquest into the deaths of Malena and Iris.

As the advocate said, “Ms. Karatza refutes the doctors in Karamandanio who say that they contacted her before Georgina suffered the miscarriage. Her testimony leads to a complete collapse of the charge of attempted murder, as she denies that she was allegedly contacted either during the admission or while the child was being treated. The only communication they had with her was after the standoff, when they asked her if she had ever examined Georgina before!’

The prosecutor of the headquarters of the MOD, requested that the defendant’s request be accepted as he said:

“It has emerged from the evidentiary process that the doctors testify that they contacted her. There is reason to summon Ms. Karatza to testify. Regarding the request to read the document of her deposition which belongs to another file and concerns the other children, I believe that it should not be read at this procedural stage. We have to be careful,” said the district attorney.

The trial continues.
