Judge Doria Varoshiotou ruled that Thanasis Nicolaou’s death was a result of criminal strangulation, overturning previous claims of suicide. This decision marks a significant victory for Nicolaou’s family, paving the way for further investigation into his death. The Law Office’s handling of the case was criticized by the judge for maintaining a suicide narrative and questioning the validity of forensic findings.

Thanasis Nicolaou’s death in 2005 was ruled as resulting from strangulation by a judge, confirming his family’s belief of foul play. The decision was based on a comprehensive examination that concluded his death was a criminal act, despite initial reports of suicide by the army and police. The judge highlighted the clarity of forensic pathologist Dimitra Karagianni’s evidence, which supported the cause of death as strangulation. Relatives of the Nicolaou family applauded the verdict in court, with Thanasis’ mother expressing relief that justice had been served.
