Alexis Kougias: His Son denies fake social media posts – Renowned lawyer remains in ICU

'I’m fighting with all my strength,’ said a fake Twitter account, which led his son to make a new post – ‘Do not take these into account,’ wrote Christos Kougias – The criminal lawyer remains in the ICU

Newsroom February 25 04:38

Alexis Kougias’ son has denied claims of supposed posts by his father on social media, clarifying that the prominent criminal lawyer does not manage any social media accounts. Kougias’ son, Christos Kougias, made the clarification after a fake Twitter account posted a message claiming, “I am fighting with all my strength. My health is being tested, but I won’t give up. Thank you to all who stand by me. Justice and truth will prevail, as always.”

Christos Kougias addressed the issue on Tuesday afternoon, stating: “Regarding the reports about alleged posts from my father, I must clarify that he does not have any social media accounts, so anything circulating is fake. I hope the media will stop taking these false posts into consideration.”

This clarification comes after a fake account, using Alexis Kougias’ name, posted the aforementioned message. Kougias remains in a critical condition, intubated in the ICU at Metropolitan Hospital, where he has been receiving treatment since February 14 due to a high fever. His health condition has deteriorated progressively, leading to the necessity of intubation.

Christos and his sister, Mayra Kougias, had earlier confirmed the severe condition of their father through a social media post, asking for privacy during these difficult times and urging respect from the media.
