The children of the “Old Christians” were being hosted by a relative of theirs, police analyst Stavros Balaskas said speaking to Mega.

“The case is not of police interest, but of social interest. The father “suddenly fell ill.” There are kids involved. the family could do whatever they want but not with little kids. That is why there was an acute intervention by the prosecutor. It is a social issue, other groups that have the same lifestyle should be identified. The children were found, they were with a relative.”

“There will be a DNA test”

“There will be a DNA test to see if the children are his, because a baby is conceived and no one knows who the father is. The woman is not responsible for the paternity of the child. The “patriarch” says that they live according to the standards of the Amish, or the Russian standards of the “old Christians” of the Roman Catholic church.

Regarding the issue of the 45-year-old’s remote work in the Municipality of Eretria while he lived in mountainous Corinthia, without internet, Mr. Balaskas said: “therefore, the municipality that was hired and the salary that was paid to him must be checked. It’s a matter of the municipality that paid him.”

It is noted that the 45-year-old father was arrested on Sunday morning, after a police operation, accompanied by a prosecutor and social workers. A case file has been filed against him for exposing minors to danger, infidelity, and violation of the law on the compulsory attendance of his children in school. During the police raid, the 15-year-old son of the 45-year-old man was found. The minor was transferred, following a prosecutor’s order, to the Children’s Hospital in Athens, where he will remain for the next few days.
