Her lawsuit brings to publicity newsit.grthe 42 -year -old speaks of extreme inappropriate behaviors by the uniforms to the point, as he says, characteristically fearing: “That they will do sexual acts against me».
“My tires were deflated and my hand broke”
It all started on Saturday morning on April 12. Clock markers showed 02:45. The 42 -year -old was crossing his engine the descent stream of Kifissia Avenue at the intersection of Helikos Street, when a traffic workshop signal to stop control. In the first pages of the lawsuit he describes how it all started.
“In the evenings I work in OAKA as a bartender in the VIP positions of the stadium. That night I finished my job late, and as soon as I was on my way I headed to my house in Kallithea. On Kifissia Avenue I stopped at a rolling of alcohol. Without having any purpose to lie, I really asked me to let me go home as I was tired of my long shift. He told me that they couldn’t make exceptions and asked me to wait in the queue with the rest of the vehicles. Shortly afterwards another police officer shouted my name and asked me to blow to the alcohol meter, as I did. That day, mild 3 drinks after my work, and as it was normal, the alcohol meter showed that I had drunk more than the permissible limit (0.59 mg/l), which of course I recognize.
It should be noted that I had already delivered a license and a diploma to the police. Being really tired, after the first measurement, I asked very kindly by the police what my rights are, if this measurement is an autopsy offense, and if they can issue the administrative act of infringement and allow me to return home. But they, in a very ironic and aggressive way, told me that I have no to go anywhere And that they will seize the machine and that “I will never see it again”. Without knowing what else I can do as much as I waited for the second measurement, I handed the machine keys to the older age of the police, who was sitting on the patrol hood, and sat on my motorbike so I wouldn’t stand up. As I sat on the machine – not as a rider of a two -wheeler, but sitting on the side, using it as a seat – a police officer near my age came running and began to deflate the tires.
I got up, I told him “what are you doing buddy”, and he grabbed me by the collar, he shouted “what are you doing @@@@, go to leave?” He threw me with force on the roadresulting in to break my hand. I fell on the street breaking out of the pain. I was asking for help but no one of the police came to help me except some drivers waiting for the queue for the alcohol.
It should be noted at this point that there was no objective ability to “pop it” as I had delivered keys, licenses and diploma of the machine, and I was surrounded by police officers».
“I was threw me knees and buns – my sides cracked”
In the following lines, he says that he was in shock, he addressed the man who had broken his hand by asking his details. But, as he says, not only did he refuse to give him but his colleagues also had the same negative attitude, while what followed is creepy.
“Shocked I headed to the police officer who had broken my hand, and I said ‘your shame, you are not a police officer, you are a criminal. Give me your name and your number now.’ He started laughing ironically, and he said “Find it alone”. I went to two police officers attending, but they replied “Ask him, we don’t tell you anything”. I was desperately directed to an other police officer, and asked him for a very intense and rigorous style of the elements of the policeman who had broken my hand.
Not only did he not have given me, but he stuck his face on my face, and he cried “you won’t say me again with me @@@@, you understand? Before I could get up (having already broken my hand), two or three more police officers fell over me and They started throwing me knees And buns on my body, so I crack my left side.
Immediately afterwards, I was handcuffed as tighter as tight, and threw me like a sack into the patrol calling me “m @@@@”, “m @@@@”, “m @@@@”, “a @@@@” and many more. During my 20 -minute commitment, from the moment they placed me on the patrol, I was begged them to relax my handcuffs because I was in pain. I used to say to them, “Well guys please, I’m not a criminal. I hurt a lot, I suffer. I don’t ask you to take it out to me, to relax her just a little“They responded to the phrases:” And we did a little of you “, and” Have you eaten d @@@@ at k @@@@? Get ready ”.
In the department, while waiting, the policeman who had broken my hand appeared, and asked me to see it. After looking at it, he ruled that “it’s fine and I have nothing” and left. On the other hand, the Police in the department were noble, And as soon as I told them I needed to be taken to hospitals, they were helping to happen immediately. “
“I was afraid they would do sexual acts against me”
Concerning the role of the rest of the police, the 42 -year -old said: “Although they did not actively be beatings, they were obliged to prevent him from legally welcomed the behavior of their colleagues, participating in the crime by failure. In this case, one of the abandons launched threatening expressions, such as “I will be in you, and inside the patrol, my two companions told me” and we did a little “when I complained of the pain in my hand from my handcuffs, and later they told me. These expressions have caused me to be of great concern, as I was scared about my health and physical integrity, and in particular I was afraid that they will do sexual acts against me.
The police who placed the handcuffs and then accompanied me to the Kifissia Traffic Department, for 20 minutes listened to me that I was slaughtered by the pain, they listened to me to begged them to relax them, and instead of doing the legitimate, sadistics, they were laughing at me, nerve (distribution of medium and urene extremity).
Her exercise against me was completely unnecessary, as I was already committed. The people had the purpose and the will to degrade me, to treat me inhumane, and to cause me physical injuries solely to “punish” me because I dared to call one of them a “criminal” because my hand broke. But for my good fortune, in the same block he had stopped for an alcoholic citizen who saw the whole incident, shocked by what he saw he gave me his number, and he is willing to testify. “
Diagnosed fractures and milestone injuries. The doctors of the Kat
The 42 -year -old was taken to the CAT for first aid. The diagnosis of doctors causes creepy: “I was immediately served with EKAB at the Attica General Hospital, with mentioned. Left end and left -handed injuries. According to the hospital’s medical certificate, I was diagnosed with “Fracture of the 4th Left Postcar of Bone“And”injury“, And for the fracture on the left end even set Gypsum.
At the same time for the fracture in my left hand it was given by the same hospital thirty -day sick leave. Subsequently, on April 15, 2025, I came to the EKPA Forensic and Toxicology Laboratory. In conclusion, the forensic examination concluded that the filmmaking in the right wrist may have been caused by the mechanism mentioned by the mechanism, that is, the placement of handcuffs. Further, due to the severe pain in my right hand, which had not fallen five days later, due to the way they had tightened the handcuffs, I arrived on April 17, 2025 at the General Clinic of the General Hospital. “Gennimatas”, where I was diagnosed with “possibly an injury of medium and ulceration right end”.
The legal view
42 -year -old lawyer Gabriel Gavriilides, referring to the case, stresses on newsit.gr: “My client stopped at an alcohol control, and ended up with a broken hand, cracked side and tightly tied handcuffs that caused him nervous. This incident is not an “unfortunate event”. It is an organized and raw act of humiliation, intimidation and brutality by people who have vowed to protect the citizen.
The vulgar comments, the threats, the absences of any control or interception by these police officers compose not only an act of overcoming duty, but a deliberate act of humiliating a helpless citizen. It is, of course, my goal to target the Greek Police as a whole.
I respect every Greek police officer who works under adverse conditions. The police themselves, however, have an obligation to identify the offenses that act uncontrollably in its bosom and disagree with the body, and without trying to conceal such incidents, to eliminate them all. My client will not be left alone against what happened to him. I will exhaust any legal means and every institutional path to render justice. And I’m sure it will be justified in the end. “
