The new information that came to light on 24-01-2022 contradicts my beliefs, good morals and my defensive legal direction.
A few hours before the planned apology of the 37-year-old priest who is accused of raping a minor, his lawyer resigned from the role of defender of the COM with a written statement explaining the reasons that led to this decision.
In his announcement, Andreas Theodoropoulos states:
"As a criminologist for a number of years and especially a lawyer before the Supreme Court, in many criminal cases, bearing in mind the new serious allegations and the latest serious facts that emerged from the noon of January 24 in the case of my client Priest accused of rape ( article 336 of the Penal Code), sexual acts with a minor 14-15 consecutive, abuse of a minor completing 14-15 years consecutive and pornography of minors (supply, possession of child pornography material).
Because the new facts that came to light on 24-01-2022 contradict my beliefs, good morals and my defensive legal direction, I boldly declare that I resign from the case and refuse the order I received from him. the accused on 21-01-2022, emphasizing the truth that governs me as a lawyer as I had the assurance from the Priest himself that there is no sexual encounter with the 14-year-old minor, information was hidden from me his lawyer, from the accused and his relatives and to my surprise new allegations were made against him. This fact led me to the point of resigning from his attorney.
