Storm Surrounding Angeliki Iliadi and the Family of Babis Lazaridis

Seventeen years after the murder of businessman Babis Lazaridis, Angeliki Iliadi decided to publicly speak about the abusive relationship she had with him. Her revelations have sparked strong reactions from the Lazaridis family, especially from his widow, Popi Malliotaki, and his sister. Iliadi claims she suffered psychological and physical abuse, as well as threats to the safety of her family. The 17-year delay in speaking out is a key point of criticism from the Lazaridis circle, while she states that she now feels free to share her story. The case has reignited public dialogue about domestic violence and the need for support for victims.
