Criminalist Yiannis Vlachos spoke of serious systemic failures in the country’s forensic services, expressing strong concern about the possibility of criminal actions that were never revealed or led to justice, on the occasion of the recently long -awaited case.

As he told ERT, Patras’s case is not isolated: “We are already talking about three known cases in the same city. We do not know if there are others in Patras, let alone nationwide. If we expand to all the forensic services of Greece, then we may be talking about a number quite high“

It is noteworthy that serious complaints about omissions and incorrect forensic reports in both Irene Mourtzoukou and previous cases of childhood deaths, including the case of Roula Pispirigou, appears to have opened the Aeolian packet in order to suspend the operation and suspended forensic experts who handled critical cases.

According to the same information, these incidents relate to any criminal actions that were not initially diagnosed, raising strong concern about the validity of the findings.

Mr Vlachos emphasized that forensic services are struggling to assist the judicial authorities in the revelation and documentation of crimes, but in many cases they seem to fail.

“There are forensic experts with an excellent course, but there is also A serious number that does not do his job – either because of scientific deficiency, or because of indifference or because of the mentality of the public“, He said.

Specifically referring to the case of three children in Patrashe noted that ignorance between forensic experts is not justified: “A coroner who examines a child must know if the same mother has lost two more. It is not only a matter of information but also elementary vigilance“

“These failures are not innocent. They are made on the corpses of the dead, “said Vlachos, noting that In at least one case the forensic reports proved to be completely inappropriateresulting in a valuable time for the judicial investigation.

Complaints have been filed by POEDIN, and reports indicate that confirmation of relevant omissions were also given by the organization “The Smile of the Child”, which has been involved in several cases of abuse and childhood deaths in the area.

The offenses investigated relate to, inter alia, infringement of duty, false certificates and issuance of false certificates on the part of the forensic experts involved.

Due to the severity of the investigation, the Patras Forensic Service will remain closed for an unknown period of time, and all incidents in the wider area will be served by the Corinthian Forensic Service, which will reportedly be strengthened by additional staff and means.

The case is expected to be examined in depth, with prosecutors already collecting critical material, while cases of cases are kept as evidence.
