Police Rescue Woman Held Hostage For 8 Years in Kallithea

An incredible story circulated in the Greek press at the weekend, claiming that Greek authorities discovered and rescued a 36-year-old woman who was being held hostage in an apartment in Kallithea (a southern Athenian suburb) by a 77-year-old woman who acted as her care-taker and her 50-year-old male relative. Reports noted that the poor woman was orphaned in 2006 and suffers from a series of medical conditions.

What is worse, she was kept on balcony, chained so she could not escape. As a result of the serious abuse that she was subjected to, the 36-year-old woman lost her let leg.

The 77-year-old and 50-year-old had managed to extract the victim’s real estate property and collected her pension for the past eight years.

The victim was found in a very poor condition. She was apparently saved after neighbors noticed her and contacted the authorities.
