Ms Tzialla said she felt vindicated for her fight over the past four years, but was angry at the sentence given to the driver who caused the crash. resulting in her son being fatally injured.

It is noted that the trial ended on Wednesday after six hours.

“30 months suspended and without even getting his license. That means he will live his life free while he sent my child two meters under the ground,” she said.

“He chose to save his own life”

“My son’s killer driver admits he was speeding and confesses he chose to save his own life and fall on the children”he characteristically said.

“He didn’t even apologize”

As she said, when she asked the 57-year-old driver if, after four years, he has thought about anything else on the day of the traffic accident “He replied cynically and without apologizing that “I had to go the other way””. The penalty imposed on the driver of the vehicle “He was suspended for 30 months without even getting his license. That means he will live his life free while he sent my child two meters underground and ruined my life and my daughter’s.”

As specified the decision of the court was made based on the previous provisions on road accidents.

Ms Gialla publicly expressed her “thank you” to the judge, prosecutor and clerk of court on Wednesday “because they stayed to finish the trial, to finish the tragedy I’ve been experiencing for the last 4 years.”

“When he confessed that he fell upon them in order not to be killed himself, isn’t that murder? The only thing I want everyone to understand is that this fight was made with the intention that it is unthinkable in a European country for a person who kills another to be free and the injustice continues,” he added.
