Her guilt of driver of company car her Doras Bakoyanniswho drove away with his vehicle and killed outside of Parliament in March 2021 22-year-old student Jason Lalaounissuggested the prosecutor of the Three-member Criminal Court of Athens.

As noted by the public prosecutor, the defendant “did not show the required attention and with this negligence he caused the death of Jason Lalaounis.

The defendant was driving recklessly and without due care. The victim was unable to maneuver and fell into the vehicle driven by the defendant.

There was a legal way for the vehicle to enter the Parliament” noted the prosecutor with the victim’s father who was in the audience saying: “Yes but he would have lost three minutes and for three minutes he killed my child”.

Continuing o public prosecutor in his speech he described the defendant’s negligence as “gross”, noting that the motorcycle had no room for maneuver.

“The vehicle driven by the defendant blocked the entire length of the traffic lane… But the deceased was exceeding the legal speed limit. There is complicity on the part of the deceased which is taken into account in measuring the sentence of the accused. But the greater percentage of negligence falls on the defendant, who violated the Code of Civil Procedure by making a prohibited turn at the spot.”

Earlier, the defendant said in his apology: “I’m sorry that a young man left without a reason. I wish I had contacted his family sooner.

Since 2018, when I have been serving, we have entered the Parliament from this point and no one has ever said anything to us. That day the entrance to the Parliament from Amalias was closed due to a gathering.

They informed us that we could not go from Kriezotou and enter the Parliament from Akadimias. I was convinced that the route I was taking was not forbidden. Even today, after the traffic accident, the Police directive is if there is an official to enter like this…”!

Referring to the circumstances of the accident, he asserted that: “A taxi driver gave us priority, we flashed our lights and entered progressively. Something crashed into us and the collision was severe, we got out and saw a broken machine. We went straight to the man, we got 166, we didn’t quit, we didn’t leave.

We asked if we could donate blood and were told no…Too bad a new person has passed away, I wish I had the strength to contact the family sooner. I am also a father and I cannot imagine my life without my son. I can’t imagine what these people are going through.”

The court is expected to announce the decision of tomorrow.
