The 26-year-old Albanian, the driver of the car that hit the 21-year-old Greek woman, causing her death, appears today before the Thessaloniki Court, together with a 19-year-old woman, who was a passenger in that vehicle, the night when the serious incident occurred.
The two defendants in the case, who are in custody, are expected to appear in the Thessaloniki Court to plead guilty.
The lawyer of the 21-year-old's family says that the charge brought against the 26-year-old Albanian provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
"The family's position is to charge him with probable cause for negligent homicide. It's not just that he abandoned it, but he did everything to disappear, he just didn't consider the cameras, which fortunately exist", said the lawyer.
We remember that the 21-year-old Greek woman was hospitalized with serious injuries, but the young woman could not make it. She passed away on Sunday morning, leaving her family in mourning. The parents decided to donate her organs and, as her mother said, "Emmanuela was a miracle child and when she left she wanted to do her miracle, to give life."
How did the serious event happen?
The 21-year-old Greek student was seriously injured in the early hours of Tuesday, when she was dragged along Egnatia street, at the height of Kamara, by the car driven by the 26-year-old Albanian, who left the scene and left her new in bad condition on asphalt.
From the first moment, the doctors tried to keep her alive, but her health condition was extremely critical and she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, but unfortunately she did not make it.
A few hours were enough for the young man to hand himself in to the police as a sign of repentance, where he also asked to communicate with her parents. Making excuses, the young man stated that he left the scene because he lived in Greece without papers. A criminal proceeding has been initiated against him, as well as against the 19-year-old passenger.
In his testimony, he said that he was devastated by this event and if the victim had not tried to cross the 'Egnatia' road (where she died), nothing would have happened, it was enough for the young woman to cross the white lines .
The 26-year-old, according to the prosecutor's prosecution, is accused of dangerous driving resulting in serious bodily injury (felony), as well as causing a traffic accident and driving without a license (misdemeanor).
The 19-year-old woman (housewife) faces the criminal offense of assisting in the driving of a dangerous vehicle resulting in serious bodily injury and assisting in a traffic accident (misdemeanor).
