Police Under Scrutiny After Incident with Domestic Violence Suspect
Police officers in Patras, Greece, are facing scrutiny after failing to restrain a 49-year-old man being escorted to court for the severe injury of his partner following a domestic dispute. The incident raised concerns as the officers followed the suspect instead of holding him, leading to public backlash. An initial investigation is set to determine if further disciplinary action is necessary. Officers are expected to argue that the suspect was in a distressed mental state and requested not to be escorted in a manner that would distress his 8-year-old child.
