No charges filed against police officers over Theofanis escape

No criminal or disciplinary charges will be filed against police officers in connection with the escape of life-sentenced prisoner Theodoros Theofanis, known as "Kommotis," according to police spokesperson Michalis Michail. The official statement from the Police Headquarters, following the findings of criminal investigators, confirms that the investigation has been concluded and the Legal Service has forwarded the report to the police without recommending any further legal or internal actions.

Following the review of the case file, authorities have re-evaluated protocols regarding the transport and escort of high-risk prisoners. These measures were developed in coordination with the Prison Department to prevent similar security breaches in the future. The police emphasized that established protocols for prisoner handling are being continuously reviewed and improved to ensure stricter security standards during transfers.

This decision marks the formal conclusion of the inquiry into the escape incident. While no individual responsibilities were assigned to specific officers, the focus has shifted toward systemic improvements and the enforcement of more rigorous security procedures for the movement of detainees.
