Maybe the case file was about in the crime of robbery, however, the competent public prosecutor decided, as Cretalive wrote, that the incident in a store of a well-known bakery chain on the evening of Easter Sunday was staged, and therefore the criminal prosecution brought against the 30-year-old foreigner, as well as his girlfriend, working at oven, it was theft by complicity.

The case was tried at the Autoforo Monomelis Plimlemiokeio of Heraklion where it issued a judgment against the two. The 30-year-old was found guilty as charged and sentenced to a total of 2 years and 8 months in prison, with two months suspended and the remainder suspended.

The court granted a stay to the convict’s appeal. His girlfriend was found guilty of being an accessory to the act of theft and sentenced to 12 months in prison suspended for three years. The same he persisted in the claim to the end that she knew nothing of her partner’s intentions.

Two hours before the… robbery, he was drinking coffee in the shop. He left, changed clothes, put on a hood and a protective mask and stormed into the store with a knife in hand. In her agitation and hearing the word “robbery”, she did not recognize the perpetrator, but when she saw the video she realized that the “robber” was her boyfriend. And in a second year he confessed it, as he said.

The case was solved in record time and it is indicative that by the time the owner was informed about the “robbery” and mobilized, the police had taken the perpetrator to the Police Station and had also found the money, about 10,000 euros, after the 30-year-old fully cooperated when he realized he had …lost.

The lawyer of the main defendant, Kostas Papamastorakis, commented on Cretalive after the decision: “despite the fact that the case in the context of the pre-investigation procedure had the “form” of robbery, the criminal prosecution by the competent prosecutor put it in its proper dimension. The correct characterization of the acts is theft and illegal carrying of a knife, and for this reason the case was referred to the Autonomous Single-Member Misdemeanor Court of Heraklion”.
