[01] Prison guards arrested for inmate's death, torture
ANA-MPA -- Nigrita Prison guards were arrested on Tuesday and charged
with causing the death of Albanian inmate Ili Kareli. Specifically,
they were charged with torture resulting in death and torture intended
to inflict serious physical injury. Arrest warrants are pending against
another four Nigrita Prison guards.
Three correctional officers have already been arrested, while an arrest
warrant has been issued for the Nigrita Prison Guards' president Haris
Konsolidis, who was admitted to the Serres General Hospital Psychiatric
Clinic in the early afternoon on Monday.
Charges have been pressed against specific Nigrita Prison correctional
officers, while the charges against Malandrinos Prison correctional
officers and Itea police officers will be directed to specific individuals
during questioning.
The arrests were made after Amfissa Prosecutor Nikos Antonarakis pressed
criminal charges against Nigrita and Malandrinos prison guards, as well
as against Itea police officers, for the death of the Albanian inmate.
Ili Kareli, who was serving a life sentence for homicide, had stabbed
46-year-old police sergeant George Tsironis to death in the Malandrinos
Prison on Tuesday, March 25. He was found dead two days later, in his
cell at Nigrita Prison where he had been transferred for safety.
