"She was beaten by the police, she has been punched in the face and has blackened ribs," her mother and sister claim about Roula Pispirigou. With their statements to Star TV station, the sister and mother of Roula Pispirigou, who is accused of manslaughter against her daughter Georgina, are trying to create the impression that the police are trying to forcibly extract a confession for the murder of the 9-year-old girl.
Roula Pispirigou herself, temporarily detained in the GADA until her apology on Monday, responded to the allegations of her mother and sister. In fact, the police officers showed Roula Pispirigou the excerpts from the TV show where the allegations about the alleged beatings the accused "received" were made and she - according to reports - told them that they were not true. In fact, Roula Pispirigou allegedly called her mother from a payphone inside the building of the General Police Directorate of Athens and reacted by asking her to explain what she said about alleged beatings by police officers.
At the same time it is surprising that both the mother and sister of Roula Pispirigou said nothing about the alleged beating of the accused after their meeting with the prisoner yesterday at the GADA, where journalists were waiting for a statement.
Police sources say the racketeering department is forming a case file on the allegations made by the mother and sister of Pispirigou. As part of the investigation into the allegations, Roula Pispirigou is expected to be examined by a medical examiner, according to sources from the police.
What Pispirigou's mother claimed
Roula Pispirigou's mother came out on Zina Koutselini's show and complained "Roula was told when she was arrested that she would be released by the Security at night. This did not happen. I went up to Athens and saw my child beaten. He had been punched in the face. Her ribs are pitch black."
"She can't stand, she doesn't sleep and she doesn't eat, what kind of behavior is this and by whom. They were pulling her hair and saying f@@@@ she confessed, I didn't do it she said," added Roula Pispirigou's mother.
Roula Pispirigou denies the beating
After the statements of Pispirigou's mother and sister, police officers showed the temporarily detained Roula Pispirigou the excerpts from the Star TV show where the allegations were made and the accused - according to reports - said that what her family members are saying is not true.
The claims of Roula Pispirigou's mother and sister
"When I saw her she was in terrible pain and could not get up. This happened after her arrest. My child is in pain," her mother said.
For Manos Daskalakis she said: "He has completely distanced himself from my daughter, he does not answer and does not pick up the phones, he has disappeared."
For her part, Roula's sister claimed: "I saw that she was distressed. She looked battered. "We asked her if she was beaten, out of fear she wouldn't answer us but she was pointing with her eyes because she was afraid of the police officers. I will pursue it to the end."
