The trial of the well-known manager of models and artists, who was arrested after a police chase in the Kifissia area, has been postponed until tomorrow. The manager is charged with dangerous driving and disobedience to authorities, charges he denies.
What the famous manager claimed
“Is it possible to race with my little Smart car? I was going home and saw a car following me. The car only reaches 60 kilometers per hour, I was afraid they might be criminals. I wasn’t drunk, and the police didn’t find anything in the car. I’ve been robbed 25 times, that’s why I was scared,” the 72-year-old defendant told the court.
The defendant requested a postponement to prepare his defense and be represented by his lawyer who was absent from court today. When asked about his profession, he replied that he now helps his brother in real estate, while in the past he has done various jobs, worked in television, and previously as a waiter. The prosecutor proposed that the trial be postponed until tomorrow and the defendant remain in custody, a proposal adopted by the court.
Criminal charges filed against the 72-year-old
Earlier, the prosecutor filed criminal charges for dangerous driving and disobedience against the well-known 72-year-old manager, who was arrested in the early hours in the Kifissia area following a police chase. According to reports, the 72-year-old allegedly failed to comply with police signals for inspection, resulting in a chase through the area’s streets. Police eventually managed to immobilize his vehicle and proceed with his arrest. Criminal charges were filed against him for dangerous driving and disobedience, while the defendant was brought to the Summary Court to be tried.
It is recalled that earlier, the well-known manager of artists and models, S.R., appeared at the Evelpidon courts to provide explanations for the incident.

The incident occurred around 02:30, when, approximately at the height of Agios Stefanos, an Immediate Action patrol car signaled a vehicle whose crew they deemed suspicious. However, the 72-year-old driver apparently had no intention of stopping and hit the gas. He drove dangerously for about 10 kilometers in a Smart car, with Immediate Action officers immobilizing him on Lefkadas Street in Kifissia. He was subsequently arrested and charged with dangerous driving, disobedience, and other related violations.
