Pseudo-doctor trial: On the bench for 12 homicides and 14 attempted homicides |

The 48-year-old, who’s being tried as an accomplice, is sitting on the bench of the Mixed Jury Court today, along with 16 of his co-accused, who are being tried as accomplices, for his many years of acting as “Dr Kontos” distinguished oncologist “.

The trial of the so-called “pseudo-doctor” comes to the hearing of the Criminal Court almost two months before the 18-month limit of the doctor’s pre-trial detention is completed, a fact that creates a suffocating framework for the rapid completion of the trial. For the progress of the process, the court will probably be called upon to ensure the appropriate courtroom, as the number of defendants and lawyers is prohibitive for the MOD room, in order to comply with all the necessary measures for the pandemic.

The 48-year-old is referred to the Criminal Court facing very serious charges related to serial and attempted manslaughter, grievous bodily harm together, drug trafficking distinguished and professional, criminal fraud in continuation, fraudulent and counterfeit continuation, possession of weapons and violation of the law on antiquities. As accomplices in the action of the supposedly specialized top doctor, 16 other defendants are sitting on the bench, including a former MP and minister, a doctor by profession, doctors, executives of a private clinic, a businessman involved in the herbal trade and a nun.

The panel for the case of “Dr. Kontos” mentions in detail the cases for which the main defendant is called to account, ie all the cases in which critically ill patients were led either to death or to serious injuries, due to the substantially non-existent treatments he provided , with supposedly special preparations that cost thousands of euros, convincing them to stop their proper medical treatment. Among the doctor’s victims are minors. In one of these cases, according to the panel, the accused persuaded the parents of a 16-year-old boy with cancer “to discontinue for their minor child the proposed, scientifically appropriate, and followed until then treatment, with surgeries, chemotherapy and other radiation and to follow, as the most effective and appropriate treatment recommended to them, consisting of supposedly advanced special drugs, injectable and not, of unknown origin and chemical composition, which, as he claimed, were made in Switzerland from rare and hard-to-find raw materials and were unknown in world, even to most members of the medical community. ” As a result, the boy fell into a coma in 2017 and ended up bony, due to the strict diet recommended by the “oncologist”, with a rapid deterioration of his health and an increase in his volume. For this “treatment” the doctor received an amount of almost 20,000 euros.

In another case of attempted murder, “Dr. Kontos” undertook the “treatment” of a 4-year-old boy with muscle atrophy, stopping the medication that had been given to the child until then. As a result, the boy deteriorated rapidly, his body became completely weak and he collapsed, remaining in a wheelchair with 85% disability and “unable to self-care”.

In the shocking list of victims of the 48-year-old is the case of a patient who after surgery in a private clinic, in the presence of “Dr. Kontos”, for a spinal injury, became 92% disabled. accused former politician.

For the co-accused of the 48-year-old, the case file admits that they actually assisted the “Doctor” with their behavior but also the provision of premises and equipment of the clinic involved, giving patients the belief that he was a doctor. The accused nun seems to have given space to a Holy Monastery to the “pseudo-doctor” and the accused nun, whom the accused had equipped to look like a doctor’s office.
