Jailed wife of former Greek minister escapes

Vicky Stamati, wife of the jailed former minister Akis Tsohatzopoulos, escaped from Dromokaitio Psychiatric Hospital during Wednesday night.

At 5.45 a.m. Thursday morning the staff found her room empty and the padlock, according to latest information, open, but not broken. Akis Tsohatzopoulos’ wife has been in prison since April 2012 accused of money laundering and accepting illegal funds which the former Minister of Defence received from armaments procurement programmes.

So far four guards have been arrested in connection with the escape.
