The family of Thanasis Nikolaou is adamant that it will not accept the involvement of the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and the Police in the investigations of the case.
In her statements, the lawyer Lito Kariolou, stressed that “it cannot be considered permissible or ethically correct any further involvement in this case by the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, their subordinates in the Legal Service and especially those who have so far handled the investigations and death investigations, as well as by any member of the Police or the National Guard who are hierarchically subordinate to the Chief of Police and the Chief of the National Guard.”
At the same time, she described as very important the strong criticism of the conclusion of the death investigator, as regards the attitude of the Legal Service, while stating that concerning the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General, in a meeting they had at the Legal Service, they had been told different things from what they claimed in Court.
This contradictory attitude of the leadership of the Legal Service, Ms.Kariolou continued, demonstrates a clear obstacle that does not allow their further involvement in this case.
Finally, she said that the family expects the Council of Ministers to appoint an independent investigative team to investigate both the circumstances of Thanasis’ murder and the “methodical cover-up of the crime by members of the Police and the National Guard.”investigations. involvement, investigations, Attorney General
