Effi Kakarantzoula nears parole eligibility following vitriol attack

Effi Kakarantzoula, convicted for the vitriol attack against Ioanna Paliospirou in Kallithea, is approaching the legal timeframe to apply for parole. Kakarantzoula, 41, was sentenced in October 2021 to 15 years and 3 months in prison for attempted murder in a calm state of mind.

Currently held at the Thebes women's prison, Kakarantzoula has maintained good conduct and worked in the prison's library, kitchen, and sewing area. Under Greek law, her time spent working can be factored into her sentence calculations for parole eligibility.

The prospect of release has caused significant distress for the victim, Ioanna Paliospirou. Paliospirou stated she is not prepared to face the possibility of her attacker being released, noting that she continues to undergo surgeries and medical treatments to manage the long-term consequences of the attack. She also reported receiving threatening messages via social media, which has heightened her sense of insecurity.
