A 41-year-old military doctor in Peristeri has accused his estranged wife, a 40-year-old nurse, of a systematic attempt to poison him using atropine. The doctor reported that the incidents caused multiple hospitalizations, including a medical emergency requiring intubation, and led him to believe he was suffering from mental illness. This impacted his professional confidence, prompting a transfer to a less intensive position within an air force unit.

The investigation intensified after the doctor installed hidden surveillance cameras in his home. Footage reportedly captured the woman adding atropine to his food and drinks. Following a medical emergency captured on video, police arrested the woman and her parents, discovering a 10ml bottle of atropine and a syringe in a vehicle. While the accused previously claimed the substance was merely eye drops, the doctor maintains the poisoning was a deliberate attempt to harm him.

Recent developments in the legal proceedings include the adjournment of the trial until March 17, 2027. This delay is intended to allow the Athens Forensic Service to complete investigations into food and water samples. Prosecutors and the victim’s legal team are currently seeking to upgrade the charges to felony or attempted murder. Additionally, the victim’s lawyer has requested that the defendant be prohibited from any communication with him; however, the court ruled that communication may only occur regarding matters involving their child.
