Vasilis Bispikis arrived at Evelpidon courts, in handcuffs, to be tried in the Autophoro (immediate trial) for the accident he caused in Filothei, shortly after 11:30 a.m. on Monday, September 29.

The actor had been held at the 1st Traffic Police Department of Northeast Attica in Kifisia and arrived at Evelpidon just recently.

According to the new Traffic Code, the penalties Bispikis faces for fleeing the scene of an accident causing material damage include a fine, revocation of his driver’s license, and criminal prosecution under Article 290A of the Penal Code for Dangerous Driving.

Videos from the Celebration

Meanwhile, Traffic Police continue investigating the circumstances under which the 48-year-old crashed into three cars and lost control of the pickup.

One scenario being examined is that the actor was driving under the influence of alcohol, exceeding the legal limit, since he claimed in his earlier testimony that he had been attending a Cretan celebration in the Metamorfosi area.

Protothema.gr presents two videos from the hours leading up to the Filothei accident, showing Vasilis Bispikis enjoying himself with friends at a celebration organized by the local Cretans’ association on Friday night.

In the footage, the 48-year-old is initially seen sitting at the front tables, talking with friends, before moving toward the stage, singing, and dancing in a cheerful mood to the music of a well-known Cretan lyra player.
