Roula Pispirigou: The trial for the deaths of Malena and Iris starts tomorrow – Why is Manos Daskalakis looking for a lawyer

The second trial of the accused Roula Pispirigou in the case of the death of her two youngest children, Malena and Iris, has been set to begin tomorrow morning at the Mixed Jury Court of Athens, while the first criminal trial for the case of the death of Georgina’s first-born daughter.

Her ex-husband Manos Daskalakis and father of three children will also be at tomorrow’s trial against the accused, asking for her punishment from the justice system.

However, as informed in an official announcement by the attorneys of Dimitris Georgakopoulos and Dimitris Karampelas who represent him in the first trial, their principal will look for lawyers for the second case through legal aid.

Specifically, in a relevant press release, the lawyers state:

“Our principal Emm. Daskalakis, regarding the trial that begins tomorrow (10-11-2023) regarding the deaths of his daughters Iris and Malena, will be forced to request the appointment of a lawyer to support the charge (which he has already stated from the interrogation stage) through the process of providing legal aid to low-income citizens.

This solution became a one-way street, due to the fact that, due to his exposure in the case, he found it very difficult to find work, which led him to very serious financial difficulties.

We continue to provide him with our support and legal assistance, and of course we continue to represent him in supporting the prosecution for Georgina’s death in the ongoing trial.”
