Assault in Kallithea: Investigation focuses on doctor's alleged accomplices

Authorities in Kallithea, Greece, are intensifying their investigation into a severe assault case, with a particular focus on identifying individuals reportedly seen aiding the doctor accused of the attack.

For about two minutes, the dentist seemed beside himself, even when one of the two was bleeding from the blows.

However, their prolonged presence near the doctor's residence attracted attention. The doctor, reportedly leaving his dental practice with a club, allegedly attacked the men from behind. The victims, who are now facing charges of illegal entry into the country, insist they did nothing to provoke the assault. Their mobile phones are being examined by police to determine what they were photographing in the area.

The two Egyptians insist that they were not attempting to break into the apartment where he lives and that the police officers continuing the investigation are shedding more 'light' on the unknown truth.

Adding complexity to the investigation are the past social media posts of the 55-year-old doctor. These posts, made during the COVID-19 pandemic and concerning immigration issues, have drawn varied reactions. The doctor's associates vehemently deny that the victims' nationality played any role in the attack. The doctor, who had previously expressed opposition to school masks and vaccinations, is preparing to present his defense in court. He faces charges of dangerous bodily harm.
