Parliament police officer accused of rape under guard in hospital

A police officer accused of raping his children and wife remains under guard in hospital. The officer, who served in the Greek Parliament, faces multiple charges, including rape, child abuse and domestic violence. He denies the allegations.

Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis expressed his horror over the incident but refrained from commenting on the case. The officer was seconded to Parliament in March 2019. The case has sparked outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into the officer's past conduct and any potential oversights by authorities.

The officer is in hospital under guard after he claimed to suffer from mental health problems and threatened to commit suicide. This led to his confinement in a psychiatric hospital for his safety and to ensure he receives the necessary care.
