In the holy church of Agia Triad Kallithea, Patras, at 2 p.m., today, Wednesday 20/12/2023, the funeral of 29-year-old Christos Kourouniotis, the police officer of the DIAS team who lost his life in a pursuit in the Athens-Corinth EO, in the early hours of the morning, will be held of Monday, pelop.gr broadcasts.

Sorrow and heartbreak for the unjust loss of the young uniformed Patrinos, whose brother is also a police officer and serves in the MAT in Patras.

Heartbreaking words from his father “They got involved with the Police, because there was no work in Patras. One went, then the other came. I’d rather have my hands cut off than let him go. I had no objection, I was afraid…” His eldest son was the one who informed the parents of his brother’s death.

Yesterday, a 17-year-old Roma was arrested for the deadly chase. It is alleged that he was also involved in the pursuit of Perama in 2022, where his same-sex partner was shot dead by police. “I know a man has been arrested. I don’t feel better. What should I feel? Justification; There is no justification. Is my brother missing and we’re going to be looking for a robbery that’s out tomorrow?’ said the 33-year-old brother of the deceased Christos.

“Unfortunately, it turns out that the dangerousness of the profession of the police cannot be compared to many professions and it is a timeless mistake of the governments that have not recognized it legislatively” said the deputy coordinator of the Citizen Protection Department of SYRIZA-PS, Giorgos Kyriakopoulos.
