Domokos Prison: The chief warden arrested for complicity in the murder of the life prisoner

The chief warden of Domokos Prison has been arrested for complicity in the murder of a life-sentenced prisoner, with investigations ongoing after a violent incident in his office.

Authorities have apprehended the chief warden of Domokos Prison in connection to the murder of a Greek life prisoner, as part of ongoing investigations. The warden is accused of complicity in the homicide, which took place within his office, leading to serious legal ramifications against him. A Bulgarian inmate involved in the altercation was brought to the Lamia prosecutor's office, where charges were filed against him for intentional homicide and weapon possession.

The incident reportedly involved a Greek inmate serving a life sentence for the Korfiatis case, who stormed the warden's office armed with a pistol, presumably aiming to attack the chief warden. This violent altercation has raised serious concerns regarding prison security and the conduct of prison officials, with authorities under pressure to address potential systemic issues. The Bulgarian inmate's lawyer has indicated that his client has requested an extension to prepare for his defense before the judge, with a hearing scheduled for next Friday at 10:00 AM.

This unfolding situation not only highlights the alarming conditions within the prison system but also casts a shadow over the oversight and management practices within Greek corrections. As the investigation continues, it poses significant implications for prison reforms and accountability in cases involving violent crimes within correctional facilities.
