The policeman is guilty of manslaughter for the death of Jason

The police officer of the Parliament’s official car who was involved in the traffic accident with 23-year-old Jason Lalaounis as a victim in March 2021.

THE district attorney recommended the rejection of the recognition of the mitigating factor of prior cohabitation requested by the defendant, noting that the hearing process revealed that the defendant did not exhibit lawful behavior, violating the KOK.

“The behavior he displayed during the traffic accident was not an inconsistency,” the public prosecutor emphasized. The prosecutor’s motion was accepted and the police officer was sentenced three years suspended.

“There was a legal way for the vehicle to enter the Parliament”

It is recalled that the prosecutor had asked for the driver’s guilt, noting that “he did not show the required attention and with this negligence he caused the death of Jason Lalaounis”.

“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”.

The policeman’s apology

In his apology, the driver said: “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. On 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 directive of the Police is if there is an official to enter like this”, he continued.

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.”
