she was named “Young Australian of the Year” in the State of Victoria and was hosted on the headlines of the biggest Melbourne newspapers
at the Austin Research Center where she was working
Before working at the University of Victoria
she had worked with Austin and Burnett’s research institutes after working around the world
including Oxford University and the Scripps Institute in San Diego
She also served as a professor at the Melbourne
Monash and Victoria Universities and was the Head of the Immunity and Vaccine Unit at the Austin Research Institute in Melbourne
Besides her position as a Vice President of the Research Department of Victoria University
in recent years and in collaboration with research scientists from the Department of Chemistry at the University of Patras
She is working on developing a vaccine against multiple sclerosis
Vasso Apostolopoulos was the “Woman of the Year 2003” in the category of scientists

She has also research achievements in the areas of antigen delivery and vaccine development
She has contributed to the development of vaccines against breast
The theory of immunotherapy aims to stimulate specific immune cells
which can be programmed in such a way as to kill cancer cells
This method was used by Mrs Apostolopoulos for the development of the world’s first breast cancer vaccine
These vaccines are now in their final stage of market entry
She is optimistic that it’s just a matter of a few years until the vaccine starts to be given to young
as is the case with the cervical cancer vaccine
the medical community recognizes her work and praises her for her great discovery
She stresses that: “All clinical trials have shown that breast cancer prevention is 100% successful
but they are remarkably high.” All results of the clinical studies of the vaccine were published in the journal “Breast Cancer Research”
It is worth noting that people who took part in the vaccine trials two decades ago are good at their health and have not been affected by the disease again
It has recently become known that the vaccine has been commercially licensed and will be given in public in the next few years

Your accomplishments are so extraordinary and humbling
IMy daughter has been diagnosed recently with MS
Is your vaccine the same approach as BioNTech
When will your vaccine be available to MS patients
Please help us identify a treatment now that is not an immune system total suppressant
Her blood showed antigens that indicate exposure to JCV (no active case) so the current DMTs are potentially toxic for her

The case involving the deaths of four infants in Amaliada is unfolding like a thriller
following reports linking a 24-year-old woman to all four tragic incidents
while the other two belonged to her friends
the 15-month-old son of the woman’s best friend
The fourth case involves another friend’s baby who passed away in 2021
Following an urgent preliminary investigation ordered by the Head of the Patras Appeals Prosecutor’s Office
“The Smile of the Child” issued a statement about the information they had received about the 24-year-old woman
“It was clear that the 24-year-old was in a vulnerable family environment from her childhood and received support in her role as a young mother.”
The organization’s statement includes the following details:
The latest allegation involving the 24-year-old
describing how she lost her six-month-old daughter on February 4
and I will investigate it,” she said
the young woman has been a witness to four child deaths in just three years
when she went for a walk and left her six-month-old daughter with the young woman to look after
I asked her to take care of my daughter while I went for a walk with my partner,” she explained
Katerina added that she had fed and changed the baby before leaving and also gave her some medicine for a health issue
called and informed me that the baby ‘passed away,’ and that Irini had told them
My partner immediately called Irini and asked
‘Tell me what happened to the baby,’ and she replied
the baby is fine.’ But the baby was dead…” Katerina recounted
The cause of death of the six-month-old girl
doctors at the Karamandanio Hospital told Katerina that her baby had arrived at the hospital already deceased
contradicting what the young woman allegedly claimed
“Irini said the baby made some noise
She said the baby couldn’t breathe… The same thing happened with the other three children—her own and this one in Amaliada,” Katerina explained
“The first autopsy report listed the cause of death as undetermined
Irini lost her other two children,” Katerina added
“You have it all mixed up,” says the 24-year-old
where the 24-year-old lives with the mother of the child who died in August 2024
“The results for my children have come out
We are waiting for the rest because the prosecutor has taken over.” When asked about the death of her friend’s child
“…leave little Panagiotakis alone because you have it all mixed up
Go ask the child’s father if you want answers.”

New evidence in the case of the dead infants in Amaliada has been brought to light by Angeliki Nikolouli and the show “Light in the Tunnel”
The same Irini Mourtzoukou – in her intervention in the TV show – made a revelation about Panagiotakis
Irini Mourtzoukou revealed that in the last three days before the child’s death
but in those days I wanted him to sleep with me
I’ve sent you the video of the crib to watch
but we were good to each other,” Irini Mourtzoukou said
their relationship was in the red because of the presence of the third person who had come between them
Irene added another revealing clue to the case to be investigated
It is a documentary video as she sent it to the show in late summer that has now taken on new weighty significance
It records herself singing meaningful lyrics about her troubled relationship with her mother
All this takes place a day or two before the child loses his life
had described her relations with Popi’s family
upset the balance and led to Panagiotakis not yet being at peace
that we hadn’t gone to Amaliada,” Irini Mourtzoukou told Angeliki Nikolouli
Asked by the journalist what would have happened if the third person had not appeared in their lives and they had not gone to Amaliada
I wish they hadn’t even come to the family
We would have had a different balance and Panagiotis would still be quiet
Maybe this wouldn’t have even happened,” he stressed
Her reference to God’s will for the children’s deaths was also sensational: “For all these little children I have thought about why they left
Maybe I’m saying God knew something to take them
I don’t know how much is going through my mind
The person who was targeted by Irene Mourtzoukou spoke to Tunnel
She categorically denied the accusations made against her
describing Irini’s statements as the result of jealousy over her relationship with Poppy
She claimed that Irini tried from the first moment to target her
and added that what she heard about “God who better take the children” shocked her
In the voicemails Irini sent her after what she said on the show about the night of the death at the Children’s Hospital
she was trying to show her conversion and sensitivity
I was the only one from the first moment I said I would run it and I would look into everything to the end
I’m still running and I never hid,” he told her
Her irritation when referring to the clothes her second child was wearing at the time of her second child’s death is evident
She explains that she was “mad” that day that she threw them at the godmother
adding that she kept wondering “why” it all happened
The godmother expresses her distrust of Irene
noting that she didn’t see her crying while the child was lost
I want his little soul to be vindicated,” she says
The woman says she is ready to testify to what she saw and experienced
offering her full cooperation to the authorities
“I have confidence in the authorities and I hope they get to the bottom of it and what happened,” she says
Irini remains locked in a perpetual “why” that plagues her
trying to understand the events and find the explanations she seeks
The pressure to uncover the truth about the deaths of the 5 infants in Amalia and Patra is suffocating as the progress of the investigation is delayed and Irini Mourtzoukou’s role in this thriller remains unclear
As far as the death of little Panagiotis is concerned
the investigation by experienced Homicide officers is nearing its final stage
They have already formed a picture of what happened that morning of August 5 at his home in Amaliada
They are waiting for the laboratory results of the histopathologists to call Irene to testify and send the case file to the prosecutor’s office of Ilia
which is the ordering authority of the preliminary investigation
There the judicial officer will decide whether to prosecute and against whom
The homicide squad continues the investigation
putting the testimonies as well as the statements of the protagonists “entangled” in contradictions under the microscope
New revelations have surfaced regarding the controversial case of Irini Mourtzoukou in Amaliada
with her uncle making startling allegations
“I am 150% sure that the plaintiff could not have done what Irene accuses him of
I can’t trust her with even the smallest matter,” her uncle told MEGA
The uncle recalled an incident from Irene’s childhood when she allegedly staged her own kidnapping and falsely claimed she was raped
the police conducted medical tests at Argos Hospital and confirmed she was a virgin
How could she have been raped?” he questioned
He also shared a conversation with a police officer from when Mourtzoukou had been arrested
The uncle criticized the role of Irene’s stepfather in her upbringing
“What angers me even more is that her stepfather hasn’t come forward
He used to work for a year and then spent another year and a half playing poker on his computer
‘Go to the priest and ask for money,’ because he didn’t even have money to buy cigarettes.”
When asked about the father of Irene’s child
he said: “Only she knows who the father is
She once said it was someone named Giorgis
and even showed us a different name on Facebook
Irene called me to ask for money to pay for the funeral
They kept the child in a refrigerator for four days
The uncle shared a harrowing detail about the funeral: “She sent me photos from the child’s funeral
She even took a picture of the casket with the child inside and sent it to me
Photos and videos of her babies were posted on Instagram and TikTok by Irini Mourtzoukou
both while they were alive and when they died
and she said goodbye on Instagram with a post that included a photo of the child in which she wrote the following:
“I didn’t expect to see your face like this today
I didn’t expect to see you in there walking away from me
You were the most beautiful little boy in the world
But I’ll always have that smile and your touch that I had every hour
He made a similar post on the same day on Tik Tok
One thing beautiful that I will never get out of my mind is my child
That’s the only way I’ll have left
in which Irini Martzoukou mourns the loss of her child months after her death
Her posts were in the same vein after the death of her second baby
who was born in August 2023 and died two months later on October 17
The 24-year-old shared videos of her posts
the mother of the baby who passed away in February 2021 in Amaliada spoke out today denying what Irini Mourtzoukou said yesterday about their relationship
The mother of the baby who passed away in February of 2021 and who has claimed that she left him with Irene to look after him
has hired a lawyer to take legal action to uncover the whole truth about her child’s death
wanting to respond to yesterday’s statements by Irini Mourtzoukou
said she had a “relationship with Katerina” which did not last long
states today that “I have nothing to say
I deny it and have nothing else to comment on
I don’t know why she said that.” She went on to say about how the suspicions about Irene came to her:”She called me and asked me why I was saying all this
I told her from the beginning that I would look into it
I kept hearing that it was the doctor’s fault
and then I heard about the fourth child and got suspicious enough to look into it
All I have to say about Irene is that we were friends and best friends,” later added: There was no specific reason why we stopped keeping in touch
In response to a question about Irene’s reaction: “I never said anything specific about Irene
and I’m not going to because there’s no evidence
I said from the beginning that it could be the doctors’ fault
Of the loss of the 24-year-old’s children
Katerina said: “When she lost her children
I will look into everything for my 15-month-old daughter who passed away.”
saying among other things:“Last year
Why is she going on the channels now and blaming me
I don’t know if she’s jealous of me” and added
I had my daughter’s time and we talked
I couldn’t even ask her to do anything; I couldn’t even do anything,” she said
Many new testimonies from family and friends of Eirini Mourtzouko
the woman from Amalia fell into many contradictions and appeared to be embarrassed
The testimonies aired by the investigation series “Light at the Tunnel” (“Fos sto Tounel”) highlighted the manipulative and distorting character of the 24-year-old
who did not hesitate to show photos of dead children to her friends and upload them on social media
The lawyer of Irini’s best man who had inexplicably lost her infant when she was looking after him
presented to the Patras prosecutor’s office some such photos
which Irene had taken with her mobile phone
These shocking documents depicted Katerina’s baby
with the most chilling one showing the child dead inside the house
shock was caused by an audio document that was presented which concerned a minor who was in a relationship with Irene three years ago and was in trouble
one girl can be heard calling 911 to ask for help and the other threatening her
yelling at her to hang up the phone and hitting her
Irene’s embarrassment and contradictions
Irini Mourtzoukou was asked by the show “Light at the Tunnel” to give convincing answers to all the reasonable questions that have arisen
but in several cases she could not hide her embarrassment
She claimed that she has been targeted and that everything they say about her is a lie
police officers asked her friend and the mother of the child to “set up” a joint statement about her sole responsibility for Panagiotis’ death
while she initially said that she did not have it in her possession
she then said that someone probably sent it to her and accidentally leaked it online
“Little girl put a pillow over her sister’s face and took her breath away…”
“She lived poorly at her parents’ home in Megara
Her dad was a great man and father and although he is not her biological father
he raised her as his child,” a person from Irene’s close family told Tunnel
I remember Gogo her sister when she was a baby
We used to catch her in the chuck because she would put a pillow over her face or her hand between her nose and mouth
We had told her parents to take her to a psychiatrist
She would have been close to six at the time; we had tested it too many times and with her grandmother the concubine
We would leave her alone for a while to see what she would do and she would go straight to the baby
She would take the pillow and cover her up to deprive her of oxygen
“The pressure is on me to come out now and say when I did the things he is accusing me of,” she said
adding that her parents had taken her to a psychologist
She also stressed once again that she has never hurt any child
A new testimony reveals a lot about Irini Mourtzoukou and the second infant who went missing on October 17
they had sent a photo showing the child in the ambulance and they had put what looks like a curtain over it
The tragic incident happened on the evening of September 14 and the next day it was announced with this photo
It was put up on a story by her then-girlfriend who was with her and also on Tick Tock and they were writing these messages that I have kept.”
“At the time we said it might be something inherited in the child
I knew Irini and Poppy and her own family but we weren’t friends
Irene had had a fight with Poppy and her mother after Panagiotis’ death and had gone away for a while
They told me this one day when I ran into them on the street and they had all told me at the time that they too believed Irene had put her hand in…” she concludes
“Who was taking pictures of my Panagiotakis dead?”
“The night before I was at the house too
I had taken him in my arms and we were playing
I had heard about vomiting but they didn’t tell me anything more
I would have taken him directly to the doctor
The morning I left for work everyone was sleeping normally
Later my fiancée called me and told me something was wrong with the kid
It took us three minutes to get to the hospital,” says the unfortunate infant’s grandfather
he cannot blame anyone and all he cares about is finding out what has happened to his grandchild because he was healthy
“I can’t understand how one day he can be healthy and the next day he’s gone
Whoever has done anything should be punished severely because we are talking about five children
What was the other children’s fault?” he says agitatedly
Asked who photographed Panagiotakis dead in the coffin
he was upset and demanded to know who dared to do this
The mother of Panagiotakis, the young child who passed away in Amaliada
spoke about the circumstances of her son’s death during her testimony to the Homicide Department officials on Thursday (November 14)
According to information from protothema.gr, well-informed sources state that the woman described the details surrounding the child’s death but did not point any direct blame at Irini Mourtzoukou
She voluntarily appeared before the authorities
and her testimony aligned with previous statements she had made
The investigation by the Homicide Department into this case is ongoing
with witnesses continuously being called for further testimony
Irini Mourtzoukou’s mother will also testify
following her own public accusations against her daughter
anyone connected in any way to the five children’s cases will be called to testify in order to clarify the exact events that led to the sudden deaths of the infants
Irini Mourtzoukou: A Member of a Scam Ring Involving Online Fraud
more details about the 24-year-old Irini Mourtzoukou’s past have emerged
she had been involved in a network of criminals who carried out online scams
primarily through the theft of banking data and money laundering using “money mules.”
Irini’s role in the network was essentially to provide her own bank accounts to be used for laundering money
she granted access to her accounts for the group’s transactions
The case file also includes individuals from the Dodecanese region who appear to have been involved in a similar manner
The criminal organization that was dismantled by the Cybercrime Unit
had been operating since mid-2022 and had accumulated profits exceeding 6 million euros
and the investigation uncovered at least 670 cases of fraud across Greece
The network was coordinated by a core group of 25 individuals
supported by over 130 peripheral members who participated either permanently or occasionally
A key part of the organization’s operations involved more than 1,200 bank account holders who provided access to their accounts in exchange for financial compensation
These “money mules” facilitated the transfer and withdrawal of funds from the victims’ accounts
A strong magnitude 4.9 earthquake occurred in the Ionian Sea near Zakynthos island
2024 at 8.34 pm local time (Europe/Athens GMT +3)
The quake had a very shallow depth of 11.1 km (7 mi) and was felt widely in the area
The shallow depth of the quake caused it to be felt more strongly near the epicenter than a deeper quake of similar magnitude would
Pending histological tests on Panagiotakis
Eirini Mourtzoukou says she is not afraid that she may be charged in the case
Irini Mourtzoukou says she is anxious about Panagiotakis’ histological tests since “we hear so much
one for … If there was something wrong with him we would have known when we went to the doctor.” Asked if he was afraid of being accused
“If I’m accused of that too… That’s all we’ve heard
the 24-year-old said that “10:30 he drank his milk and around 11:00 when Poppy made yogurt or cream he didn’t want it”
“The only times Panagiotis cried was when his teeth hurt,” she said
The decision not to go abroad after all was made by 24-year-old Irini Mourtzoukou
who “starred” in the case of the five dead children in Amaliada
the 24-year-old will not leave for Germany
With the investigation into the dead infants in Ilia and Patras ongoing
the news that 24-year-old Irini has booked a ticket to Germany has raised questions
“Irini said she would leave Greece because she has been under terrible pressure all this time
I am telling you that she will not leave and she is at the disposal of the authorities if and when she is asked,” Dimitriadou told Star
the lawyer of Irene Mourtzoukou adds that the findings speak of pathological causes in the deaths of the babies
Panagiotakis t-shirt has been handed over to authorities
Paraskevi Dimitriadou says: “The production of this bracketed evidence was not properly communicated
here we focus on the fact that the child presented a symptomatology with a lot of vomiting starting from the familiar
The T-shirt is not a child’s T-shirt
it is my client’s and was used to wipe away the vomit
What Irini Mourtzoukou had said about fleeing to Germany
said last Friday that she plans to flee abroad
On “Light at the Tunnel,” the 24-year-old said she had been planning to leave for several weeks
but could not because of the investigation
Angeliki Nikolouli: Somewhere we heard today that you have a ticket to go abroad
Irini Mourtzoukou: Yes I was supposed to leave earlier but it happened
Ageliki Nikolouli: So now you are planning to leave out
Irini Mourtzoukou: I was going to leave before we went up to Athens because I go every year and I’m going to leave now finally
if you are useful here in the investigations as they are going on and your testimony is important I guess for the authorities
Amaliada has a very high level of seismic activity
Based on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900
there are about 5,500 quakes on average per year in or near Amaliada
Amaliada has had at least 19 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900
which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently
probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years
The quake had a very shallow depth of 17.7 km (11 mi) and was too small to be felt by people
Amaliada has had 1 quake of magnitude 3.2 and 7 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0
There were also 32 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel
The strongest earthquake in Amaliada in the past 24 hours had a magnitude of 3.2 and occurred 4 hours ago: Mag. 3.2 earthquake Ionian Sea - Western Greece, Greece - writeAge(1746520193)A light magnitude 3.2 earthquake occurred in the Ionian Sea near Zakynthos island
The quake had a very shallow depth of 25 km (16 mi) and was not felt (or at least not reported so)
There are continuing developments in the thriller of the five dead infants in Amaliada
after the Homicide Department took over the investigation
Irini Mourtzoukou claimed she never threatened Panagiotis’ mother
and unleashed a harsh accusation against her mother for what she has said publicly against her
the 24-year-old categorically denied being involved in the death of Panagiotis: “If I wanted to hurt Panagiotakis
there were many days when I kept him alone
So I would have waited for Poppy to come out of the bathroom and said
“wait a minute because I’m hurting your child “
Responding to her mother who has publicly denounced that she has messages “burning” her about the case
Irene Mourtzoukou attacked her with heavy-handed insults
“She says I was making suicide attempts
This lady was reminded by someone that she made suicide attempts and her partner was a witness
We know that she had been involved with loan sharks who were beating her and had gone so far as to break into the house and beat me
She disappeared for a long time in Belgium
If we want to tell the truth…” she said
“I’m a difficult child but if I open my mouth
Don’t blame someone if you’ve done the same thing yourself
Her son was beaten because the loan sharks were after her and she’d fled to Belgium
has been working in a building site since he was 9 to pay off my mother and hasn’t been to school a day
He doesn’t go to the army to pay off my mother and he doesn’t have a single euro in his pocket
My brother getting beaten up and sleeping on the street
As for the accusations that were involved in a circuit that carried out scams
Irini Mourtzoukou said: “I had gone and reported it to the police
I didn’t know if something had been done with my account
I was informed by the bank that I had to go over there and I told them that I had lost my card and how could I have any money in it
I was probably told I was a victim of fraud
Whatever it is I have told the authorities
I won’t stay and deal with it.”
Do I have a revolver and chase them around the house
I was there for everyone and I still am even now
even if I don’t have good contacts.”
Irene denied that she threatened her best man Poppy’s children: “I’m not well
Not all the things they say about the depositions are not true
but we both had our hands raised,” he claimed
Irene Mourtzoukou categorically denied that she had threatened Poppy
Asked if Poppy has any incriminating evidence against her
Irene replied “I don’t think so
Poppy has seen that I was with Panagiotis.”
there was communication after Poppy’s testimony
“The only thing Poppy said was ‘Irene I haven’t said anything they’re saying,'” she said
Irini Mourtzoukou has denied that she and her roommate
argued one day before Panayiotis’ death and a short time before the child passed away
Asked if the child was alive when they took him to the hospital
“I’ve been saying it from the beginning
I can’t understand how a person leaves because I’m not a doctor
I do know that when I took Panagiotakis in my arms he was trying to breathe
he contradicted the woman who was driving the car when they took Panagiotis to the hospital
claiming that “she took me to change (he was soiled from vomiting) and get the child’s booklet.”
“Poppy was distraught,” she commented
claiming that both she and the child’s mother “sat for many hours at the police station and gave a statement after many days.”
The girl went out looking for her child and now they are looking for everything together,” he said
There is no end to the revelations surrounding the case of the dead infants in Amaliada
Just before 24-year-old Irini Mourtzoukou took the stand
she recanted her allegations and admitted she lied about her stepfather being the father of her children
at least I came out to ask him for an apology,” Irini Mourtzoukou claimed
“They have taken out so much that has hurt me
My mother came out and accused me without me having done anything to her
She has done so much and I haven’t blamed her
she came out to blame me?” she added
“One apology doesn’t solve everything,” was the response from the 24-year-old’s stepfather
“This whole thing has done a lot of damage to me
My child doesn’t go to school because of this… Irene has ruined my life.”
He said he does not yet know whether or not he will withdraw the lawsuit he has filed against Irini Mourtzoukou
Irini Mourtzoukou described frame by frame the day Panagiotakis died
The 24-year-old denied claims that on the day the 15-month-old infant died
“Poppy and I argued many days before
The girl went out for not even half an hour the night before and as soon as she came back she went to get Babylino for Panagiotis
She walked him around to calm him down afterward because he wasn’t feeling well
had coffee and Poppy said ‘Aren’t we doing any work
nothing happened concerning what was said.”
“We thought Panagiotakis had his tooth
we put a teddy bear with a t-shirt on him and he slept through the night
He didn’t show us any discomfort again while I was home that night cleaning up
She said the other girl said that Panagiotis was vomiting
but I won’t deny that he was vomiting,” she claimed
As for the time of little Panagiotis’ death
I remembered after the girl told me that the time was 1
We went to the hospital on the basis that the child was alive
We could understand a pulse in his arm.”
He then added that little Panagiotis was sideways when he vomited
I don’t remember him eating anything that day.”
An hour before Panagiotakis was taken dead to the hospital
Poppy was chatting on the phone with her cousin
What everyone seems to agree on is that the unfortunate infant had woken up without a problem and seemed to be in a good mood
on what turned out to be the last night of his life
Panagiotakis’ mother insists in her testimony that the time she fed her child was at 10:30
at about 12:05 she went to the bathroom to talk on the phone with a person about an argument she had with Irini
Then Poppy comes out of the bathroom and sees that Irene has taken the baby out of the crib and put him in the stroller
necrosis appears to have been detected in part of the child’s intestine
Irene Mourtzoukou claimed: “At the time of death I did not see her
Irini Mourtzoukou also referred to the photos she had taken with Katerina’s stillborn baby
she had taken the photos and sent them to her mother because she wanted to see if the child was better
“I was moving the child’s arms and legs
It didn’t occur to me that the child was dead,” the 24-year-old claimed
“I put my hands on his face to give him air
I might have made marks on his face the way I was trying
I remember doing whatever the ambulance told me while I was waiting for it to arrive,” he added
“I said I wouldn’t get out again
but with what I’m hearing… One calls me a dealer
because even they don’t know what I am,” Irini Mourtzoukou claimed
Referring to the sham marriage and the civil partnership agreement she had entered into
Irini Mourtzoukou revealed that she received 700 euros and did so because she was facing financial problems as she was approaching her child’s memorial service
I knew my mother had done something and was being hunted
My sister didn’t know anything about any of this
the girl is shown in the account because she was getting money for her health problem that she has
She got a call and she said ‘since I don’t have a card’
My mum said the bill had Gogo on it.”
The young woman who now prefers the name Renos
indicative of the gender she identifies with
is the star of an unprecedented “monster dance” that has dominated television shows for the past three months
and an immature mother whose two children she gave birth to are both dead
At just 24 years old she has been accused of being part of a criminal organization that defrauded mostly the elderly
allegedly extorted a large sum of money from a man she occasionally consorted with
and also alleged to have performed white marriages with foreigners on the cheap
she accused her stepfather of raping her and that he was the father of her children
but in the meantime to be tried on those charges
The recipient of Mourtzoukou’s outrage is her mother
her mother is the first to publicly and categorically state with certainty that Irene “did something to the children”
In the most recent aspects of this case that has kept the public’s interest unabated
Irini/Renos had allegedly attempted to sell her friend’s baby
who died last August and was the fifth in a row to die in the presence of Mourtzoukou
So what is Mourtzoukou other than a star of a wild reality show
but what no one can answer with certainty and solid evidence is whether
Mourtzoukou’s story “sells” because it is shocking: how can a man only 24 years old already be “life and politics”
Had he ever been in contact with Roula Pispirigou
killed her sister and the children of two women in her circle of friends
Mourtzoukou’s case was first in the public eye immediately after the death of her second baby last year
no evidence indicating criminal activity had emerged and the case was withdrawn from the spotlight
All this until early September when it became known that another baby had died in the presence of Mourtzoukou
The death of this child is perhaps the only one that can provide answers as to how it occurred
The child’s toxicology tests are clean
Mourtzoukou in her countless television appearances has claimed that the child was taken alive to the Amaliada hospital and expired there
is clear that the baby arrived dead at the hands of the doctors
the histological examinations of the child
which are being carried out at the A’ Laboratory of Pathological Anatomy of the University of Athens
it seems that there was a problem in the child’s upper digestive system
but it is not yet clear whether this was the cause of death or just a pathology the infant was suffering from
After the death of 15-month-old Panagiotis on August 5 this year
the head of the Patras Appeals Prosecutor’s Office
requested an urgent preliminary examination
Nikolaou forwarded the request to the heads of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Prosecutor’s Office of Achaia
the file of the five dead children left the Ilida Security Department
which had undertaken the preliminary examination (it had collected all the files as the last death had occurred in Amaliada) for all the deaths of the children and passed to the Department of Crimes against Life of the General Police Directorate of Attica
which undertook the preliminary investigation
The investigation is ongoing and statements are already being taken from relatives of the missing children
people who were close to Irini Mourtzoukou
and doctors who attended all the incidents
An important development is the testimony of Panagiotis’ mother: the woman had initially denounced shortcomings and incorrect assessments by the Amaliada hospital
while doctors insist that the baby arrived there dead
“My child was dead from the house,” she reportedly told homicide detectives now
three of the five babies were found to have infantile interstitial pneumonitis as the cause of death
who died when she was 13 months old in 2014; her first daughter
who died in 2022 when she was just 19 days old; and the six-month-old baby girl of Katerina
who died at the Karamandanio Pediatric Hospital in Patras
Mourtzoukou’s second baby girl died in 2023
at the Aghia Sophia Children’s Hospital
The cause of death was described as “sudden death of pathological etiology with a history of epilepsy”
It should be noted that Irini’s second child
who passed away at the Agia Sophia Children’s Hospital
A gene emerged that was ambiguous in the literature
the laboratory that did the gene testing requested a sample from the parents and from one of the mother’s children
They saw that the mother had the mutation (and was alive)
while the first child (who had died) did not
So they concluded that the death of the second child was not due to a gene problem
expanded gene testing is underway for Irene’s first child as well

her resuscitation was not possible and her death was confirmed
According to the forensic and toxicological report
the cause of death of the child was due to lower respiratory tract infection and interstitial pneumonitis of childhood
Any involvement in the five dead infant thriller is denied by Irini Mourtzoukou from Amalia
noting that there is a finding that they are innocent and that it is false that they took Panagiotakis dead to the hospital
“If he was dead he could not have vomited,” he said
“I would come home and she would call me Irene
that’s something I had missed,” she said
she said it was a lie that her biological father had told her to “take care of the children with Irene
while she said of her mother that they had a good relationship and that she was the one he spoke to when he wanted something
“They didn’t leave in my hands”
Irini Mourtzoukou said that the mother of the first child is accusing her for no reason and that she has nothing to hide and is not accused of anything
“They didn’t leave in my hands,” she said of the infants while claiming that she was most hurt by the last two deaths
her first baby died and she had not spent moments with him
“I want them to answer me why the babies are gone”
The woman from Amaliada is seeking answers as to why the babies were lost
she did what she had to do as quickly as she had to all the time
It’s not nice to have things dumped on you
They are blaming me for what has happened,” she said
adding that people come out anonymously and blame her for deaths
Irene Mourtzoukou reported that in the last few days
“It’s very difficult and no one can understand it
but they don’t let me grieve as I want to,” she said
