The 83 -year -old was difficult and slowly down the stairs from the 1st floor of the Judicial Palace. “My knees …” she blushed to her lawyer who accompanied her, complaining of pain- probably because of old age. However, a relief was painted on her face. It had just passed the suffering of the interrogation and was released on the restrictive condition of banning the country. The category attributed to it? “Trafficking in people”, to a degree of felony.

The prosecution is based on a complaint that arrived in ELAS almost three years ago and was investigated by police officers from the Department of Trading of Humans of the Thessaloniki Organized Crime. The complaint allegedly said that the 83 -year -old (then 80 -year -old), through psychological violence exerting a 20 -year -old man, took advantage of her, forcing her to be issued for a pay to customers. Police officers who began an investigation in the presence of a judicial representative made an apartment in Vardari in Thessaloniki in October 2022, which was indicated as a place of committing these acts.

As it turned out, the elderly man resided in this apartment and was found. Inside the same house, erotic aids, condom packaging, sensual films, agendas, two cell phones and a sum of 380 euros were seized. Answering police questions for the 20 -year -old, the old man allegedly said she was hosting her in the past, but she left a few days earlier. While in progress, the police investigation visited the apartment in succession, a 77-year-old and a 62-year-old alien arrested for examination by the police- the former appears to have confirmed the investigated complaint by indicating the 62-year-old as a prostitute victim, 83 -year -old in housework.

Police searches for the 20 -year -old prospered 24 hours later while he was called upon to file a complaint under police. Indeed, the young man named the case in the case, one more person- it is a 27-year-old who was not arrested, as was the old man, as the conditions of the self-sufficiency did not meet. When the case was closed by the police, he was forwarded to the Thessaloniki Public Prosecutor’s Office and a criminal prosecution was filed. At the expense of the two defendants, arrest warrants were issued by the competent investigator handling the case file.

And while the 27 -year -old’s fate is missing, the 83 -year -old was arrested in Thessaloniki in Thessaloniki in the execution of the warrant as he was considered a fugitive. Under these circumstances today at noon the threshold of the Investigative Bureau to give explanations. She seems to have denied the accusation, which she described as unfounded and pre -emptive, and reiterated what she said pre -trial that she provided hospitality to the young woman. “I wanted to help her because she was having problems with substances,” she reportedly apologized, claiming that she never forced the 20 -year -old to join men, nor deprived her of freedom of movement.

Investigator and prosecutor unanimously decided to release her by imposing the term of ban on leaving the country, while the competent judicial council is expected to decide on her to trial.
