Investigations are continuing into the suicide of the 50-year-old gymnast in Thessaloniki, while the "microscope" of the prosecuting authorities is the email he allegedly sent a few hours before he ended his life.
The e-mail allegedly sent from the business account of the company maintained by George Papanaum and "accompanied" by files of pornographic content, had a photo of the woman's police ID on top, which - according to the suicide victim - led him to financial ruin and consequently to suicide.
This woman, according to the 50-year-old, is the mother of the 17-year-old girl who accompanied Georgia to the New Year's Eve party in a suite of a well-known hotel in Thessaloniki. The email had a total of 24 recipients and on the list were, among others, the lawyer of the main defendant in the case of the alleged rape with 24-year-old Georgia, a large company selling various products, two football teams, a local media outlet and the Thessaloniki hotel.
"Pink" videos and nude photos
According to information reported by the Greek protothema.gr, the pornographic material that has been sent along with the 50-year-old's email, consists of three photos and a video lasting about two and a half minutes and, as the suicide victim hinted, are from personal moments of himself and the woman he accuses of destroying him.
According to people who were on the list and unsuspectingly received this particular email with the totalfour files of pornographic content, it appears to be material that was taped by the trainer himself[/B] and not material that could be used by someone to blackmail or expose him.
He threatened me that he would destroy me, says the "spider woman"
It should be noted that, as the woman's lawyer told ALPHA, she had been separated from the trainer for some time and the 50-year-old was blackmailing her with pornographic material. According to Kostas Koltsis, the trainer had sent "to an unspecified number of persons obscene material, heavy, bad" of his client, which she was unaware that he had in his possession.
He stressed that there is no accusation that the woman had extorted 400 from the suicide.000 euros, as the trainer said in his post, and claimed that he had evidence from messages showing that the 50-year-old had given 60,000 euros in bitcoin and that was why he was concerned.
I hear about 400,000 euros, unheard of, unsubstantiated. This man, and I am sorry to say this, before committing suicide was blackmailing and threatening my client that he would destroy her. Shortly before the suicide he sent photographic evidence that he had in his possession without my client's knowledge. A year ago he said 'I am committing suicide and no one is to blame but my illness'" the lawyer told ALPHA.
"My client divorced, broke off the love affair she had with the suicide, some time ago, the suicide and this time citing problems, sadness, that he would commit suicide - as he had done other times in the past - threats like that, he tried to approach her to come back. She flatly refused because the reason why their love affair was broken was the character of the suicide, about whom I don't want to say any more. In the messages he sent to my client it was clear that it was a love frustration and he was asking her to come back," he said."
The financial dealings, according to the lawyer
Regarding the financial dealings between the woman and the trainer, the lawyer stressed that: "Financial transactions are not evident from the messages, such as those said and mentioned by the suicide," he said, adding that "it is typical that in one of his messages, from those presented to the prosecution, he mentions that 'today I lost 180, I put 180 and 87 yours'. You realize that this means something. After that message, there is no mention of any money transactions or outstanding debts, there is only hatred. I conclude that when he found that he had no other way or whatever, he started this behavior," the lawyer said.
The e-mail was also sent to the business where the 17-year-old worked
On the list of recipients who received this e-mail was the e-mail address of a business located in a small area just outside Thessaloniki.
As the owner reports to the Greek protothema.gr, once she received the specific e-mail, allegedly sent by the 50-year-old gymnast, she did not pay attention at first, as she thought it was malicious and moved it to the bin. However, once she was contacted by the police, she then realised it was something serious and took it out of the deleted files category.
"I did not know the 50-year-old gymnast who committed suicide, but neither did I know the lady mentioned in the e-mail. I know the little girl, the 17-year-old, as she worked at the business last summer for a short time last summer
. I hired her legally, to help with the weddings, but she was young and the work was hard, so she didn't last long. She came two or three times, but this job is not for the little hands of a 17-year-old girl, because there is a lot of carrying around," the owner of the business told protothema.gr.
"I was surprised that I was one of the recipients of this e-mail."
"I was surprised that I was one of the recipients of this e-mail. It seems that the 50-year-old sent it to addresses that he found in this lady's diary to vent. In the message there are photos of the identity of the woman, her husband and two children. Also, files of sexual content. I found it very strange to receive this email. I feel sorry for the man who decided so young to do this tragic thing to himself. I imagine that in his mind it was all too much and I can't believe what he writes," he adds.
It is noted that this e-mail and the post that George Papanaoum allegedly made on his personal Facebook account, a few hours before he was found hanged in the gym he kept at 37 Gambetta Street, have been put under the "microscope" of the prosecuting authorities.
