Another parliamentary police officer arrested for domestic violence – Threatened his ex-wife since 2019
Yesterday, Saturday (21/12), police officers in Agia Paraskevi proceeded with the arrest of another officer of Parliament’s police force for domestic violence.

According to information from protothema.gr, the story began to unfold around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday when the officer’s ex-wife entered the police department in Nea Ionia and filed a complaint against him for domestic violence and threats.

The woman stated that the officer started threatening her back in 2019, while the latest incident, according to her complaint, occurred yesterday (21/12), when he called her and threatened her over the phone.

A “Panic Button” app was installed on the 35-year-old’s mobile phone. When asked if she wished to be transferred to a shelter, she declined.

The officer has been placed on administrative leave, and the case file has been forwarded to Parliament.

What Parliament Sources Say About the Case

According to parliamentary sources regarding this specific case, the Hellenic Police (ELAS) informed Parliament’s Security Service about the complaint against the officer on Saturday and his arrest under the procedure of being caught in the act.

The officer was off duty (he was scheduled to begin his shift today in the afternoon after the timeframe for being caught in the act had elapsed), which is why the arrest was carried out outside of Parliament by ELAS officers.

As of this morning, the officer has been removed from Parliament’s security force, while tomorrow, the two complaints (as the officer and his ex-wife have filed mutual complaints) will be heard in court.

The same sources note that the officer’s file did not contain any prior disciplinary offenses.
