The developments in the trial of Roula Pispirigou, regarding the murder of her daughter Georgina, are hectic, as her lawyer, Alexis Kougias, announced his resignation from the defense of the accused, however a short time later he spoke of a “formal resignation”.
Specifically, according to a statement issued by Mr. Kougias, it appears that it is a formal resignation or one that was made for tactical reasons. This means in all probability that Mr. Kougias will return to the highly acclaimed trial of Roula Pispirigou.
It is worth noting that the departure of Mr. Kougia was followed by the appointment of three new lawyers to defend the accused, who were given until Wednesday to study the case file.

Alexis Kougias spoke to MEGA about his temporary resignation and talked about this tactical move.
“It was a tactical move, because Mrs. President, prejudiced, wanted the accused to apologize without the presence of a lawyer, so the only way to prevent this was to declare my resignation. I have never abandoned a defendant, in many difficult cases, and that has happened now. I want to talk to the accused about things I intend to do, so that she can approve them. I have never made a request for exemption, I will return on Thursday to the court” he initially said.
Then, when asked if he disputes the judgment of the court, Mr. Kougias replied that “I dispute the procedure. I see the actions of the court that does not care about the search for the truth, nor the point of view of the accused, the court appointed 3 young lawyers, who I doubt can read the case file. I don’t know what experience they have, I don’t know if they know basic principles of homicide investigation procedure. I will contact them, and then I will place myself in charge. The defendant has the right to cancel the appointment of the new lawyers and to come back normally.”
Finally, regarding the characterization of the judges as “biased” and whether he resigned to “buy time”, he replied that “since the 2nd day, none of our requests have been accepted. the court brought something nurses, and rejected requests to bring scientists, it is unprecedented. How much time do I gain? The apology of the accused is ready from the 1st day, it was done together with the accused. It’s comical to say that I’m trying to buy time,” underlined Mr. Kougias.
“The trial of the case of Malena and Iris can be postponed. Although I am eagerly waiting for the case to be tried because the “pardalo goat” will also laugh at what has been done” he concluded.
