The shocking testimony of actress Efi Oikonomaki has left the public stunned, as she recounted in harrowing detail the violent armed robbery that took place at her family home. Speaking on the television show Truths with Zina, she revealed what she, her husband, and their daughter endured — describing a highly organized and extremely dangerous plan by the perpetrators that nearly ended in tragedy.
Efi Oikonomaki: “My child was saved by an unexpected last-minute decision”
The actress described how a chance, last-minute turn of events proved to be lifesaving for her daughter, preventing her from being present at the time of the invasion.“On Wednesday, May 6th, my husband would usually pick up our daughter from the gym in Kefalari. That day, he dropped her off and then went to the supermarket, bringing the shopping home… That decision of his saved my child from their plan.”
“They threatened to kill my daughter”
Efi Oikonomaki then described the terrifying moments her husband experienced at the hands of the attackers, who threatened him in order to force him to reveal the combination to their safe.“My husband, completely unsuspecting, parked the car and headed to the elevator — only to notice the light hadn’t come on… While waiting, they suddenly appeared in front of him. A struggle broke out as they tried to gag him, tie him up, put a hood over his head, and threatened to blow his brains out if he didn’t open the safe.”
“The security system caught them off guard”
The actress also spoke about the turning point in the ordeal — the moment the security system activated, throwing the perpetrators into a panic and dramatically changing the course of events.“After taking everything, they wanted to keep going… but then the alarm system — which they had thought they’d disabled — sent a signal and filled the space with smoke… It’s a miracle the gun didn’t go off.”
“My health was shattered — my husband is the greatest gift of my life”
Finally, Efi Oikonomaki revealed that the traumatic experience had taken a serious toll on her own health, and she also touched on a family member who is reportedly connected to the case.“I had blood pressure of 200 and suffered a minor stroke — God watched over me… My husband is alive, and that is my winning lottery ticket. The greatest gift my life has ever given me…”
