Roula Pispirigou: Legal moves for house arrest with ankle monitor
Roula Pispirigou, who became the protagonist in one of the most talked-about criminal thriller cases of recent decades, is expected to undergo evaluation by a special committee in the coming period to determine whether she will be certified with a disability percentage above 70% according to MEGA. If this becomes feasible, she will request to return to her home with an “ankle monitor“. Roula Pispirigou claims she cannot cope with the daily routine of prison life. According to her lawyer Vaso Pantazi, her health condition is deteriorating over time due to an autoimmune disease that has been troubling her in recent years.
How likely is Roula Pispirigou to be released from prison
As noted by Roula Pispirigou’s lawyer, legislation in such cases may allow her conditional release. It should be noted that Roula Pispirigou never confessed to the crimes for which she was convicted. She remains optimistic that she will be vindicated at the Court of Appeals. As forensic pathologist Grigoris Leon emphasized, Roula Pispirigou’s autoimmune condition must be certified through medical examinations, and it must be investigated whether confinement affects the prisoner’s health or not. “It is often proven that the prison environment is not entirely prohibitive for individuals with serious and chronic conditions,” Mr. Leon added.
