Karystianou speaks exclusively in to Rania Tzima in.gr: «I was threatened because I accused Mitsotakis of high treason»

Maria Karystianou, who has made it her life’s work to see those responsible for Tempe pay for their crimes and to vindicate the victims, has revealed for the first time that a death threat was made against her and her family after she submitted a proposal for a Preliminary Investigation in which she accused Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of «high treason.» And that’s not the only revelation Maria Karystianou makes in the interview she gave Rania Tzima, which is soon to be published in full in in.gr.

Having left clear hints that there is a lot going on behind the scenes in the Tempe case, and being asked directly if she believes threats have been made against people playing key roles in investigating Tempe and bringing the facts of the accident to light, she stressed that she has herself received threats.

«A few days ago, I received a death threat in response to my accusation of high treason,» says Ms Karystianou. «What I was told is that simply associating the name of the Mitsotakis family with the crime of high treason is an act that cannot go unpunished. Just the connection, even if it leads nowhere,» she adds emphatically.
