Sofia Polyzygopoulou, the wife of lawyer Apostolos Lytras, has filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife and the criminal lawyer following an incident last night that led her to activate the panic button. The ex-wife of Apostolos Lytras, accompanied by their eldest daughter and a lawyer, went to the house in Gerakas, causing significant distress and leading to Polyzygopoulou’s fainting. Polyzygopoulou claims that Lytras sent her a threatening message.
According to ELAS spokesperson Konstantina Demoglidu, who spoke to ANT1, a case file for an immediate arrest has already been formed. This development means that the criminal lawyer is being sought for arrest, while his ex-wife is expected to be brought before the prosecutor.
After filing the lawsuit and forming the case file, police searched for Apostolos Lytras at the location he declared (his ex-wife’s house) but did not find him. Lytras has not responded to phone calls. However, he is expected to voluntarily appear at the Pallini Police Station.
Charges Against Ex-Wife and Lawyer
The lawsuit also targets Lytras’s ex-wife and the lawyer who accompanied her, charging them with disturbing the peace, illegal violence, insult, and threats, with Lytras being accused as the instigator.
Polyzygopoulou Requests Lytras’s Detention
Following these developments, Polyzygopoulou’s lawyer, Themis Sophos, plans to inform the investigating judge, Christina Salappa, of Lytras’s violation of the restraining order. Sophos is expected to request the replacement of the restraining order with pretrial detention.
Incident Leading to Panic Button Activation
On Tuesday night, Polyzygopoulou activated her panic button, causing a significant disturbance at her home in Gerakas. The alarm was triggered at the Police control center shortly after 8 PM, resulting in three police patrols and a house guard arriving at the scene.
It was found that Lytras’s ex-wife, along with their eldest daughter and a lawyer, attempted to enter the house. Polyzygopoulou’s father appeared on the balcony, leading to heightened tension. Polyzygopoulou, who reportedly fainted during the incident, activated the panic button.
Police arrived shortly after and took everyone to the station, where Polyzygopoulou filed her complaints.
