The pathologist and anatomist Manolis Agapitos denies reports and publications that he has co-signed the conclusion of Malena's death together with the coroner, who examined samples from the girl's body.
The lawyer Yannis Mantzouranis, who represents the doctor, spoke on ANT1's main newscast on Monday, revealing that Mr. Agapitos received threatening phone calls.
Manzouranis noted that "at no time did the pathologist-anatomist Mr Agapitos sign a joint report with the coroner, because he cannot sign".
"The pathologist-anatomist has no authority to determine the cause of death," his lawyer noted emphatically, adding that "Mr. Agapitos received viscera, analyzed them and from 2019 sent his report with his findings and since then he had no involvement and no contact with anyone on this issue. He sent his report to the authority that assigned him the said work."
He cannot know the cause of death
"The forensic report Mr. Agapitos never received it or took note of it because he has no reason to return it to him," Mr. Agapitos added. He also said that "he cannot know the cause of death, it is determined by the coroner along with the clinical picture of the body, the toxicological tests and other data." He added that "the cause of death cannot be known, it is determined by the coroner along with the clinical picture of the body, the toxicological tests and other data.
As Yannis Mantzouranis said, "Mr. Agapitos learned the cause of death from the reports recently," while when asked why he did not intervene in the matter, which has been occupying all of Greece for so long, he replied that "he is not used to making statements or has nothing to do with the star system."
Threatening phone calls
"He received anonymous phone calls with threatening suggestions "be careful, because... you know, we all have evidence etc." and that's why I came out publicly to say that he receives neither hints nor threats," Yannis Mantzouranis said.
The lawyer finally said that Mr Agapitos "has not received a call from the authorities to testify again, but he has asked to testify himself. It seems that his request will be granted, although it seems that there is nothing to say, since his findings are confirmed by the renowned forensic experts, in the new finding."
