Eight years after the fatal car crash that killed Greek singer Pantelis Pantelidis, new evidence has surfaced, potentially changing the narrative of the tragic event.<\/h2>\n
Following Mina Arnaouti\u2019s recent television appearance discussing her compensation claim, the lawyer representing Pantelidis\u2019s family, Apostolos Lytras, made a startling claim. Lytras revealed that the singer\u2019s DNA was found on the passenger-side airbag. He also stated that an eyewitness placed Pantelidis in the passenger seat on the night of the crash. This contradicts previous accounts and raises questions about who was driving the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Arnaouti, who was seriously injured in the crash, is seeking \u20ac1 million in compensation from Pantelidis\u2019s insurance company. She appeared on Eleni Tsolaki\u2019s show to discuss her case. Lytras explained that the Court of Appeal must now determine who was driving, as this directly impacts the compensation issue.<\/p>\n
Arnaouti: \u2018I Deserve Compensation Regardless\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n In an interview on \u201cProino Sou Sou,\u201d Arnaouti spoke about the lasting impact of the accident on her life, her strained relationship with Pantelidis\u2019s family, and her ongoing fight for compensation.<\/p>\n Pantelis Pantelidis died on February 18, 2016, when his jeep crashed on Vouliagmenis Avenue in Elliniko. Arnaouti and another friend, Efrosyni Kyriakou, were also in the vehicle.<\/p>\n Arnaouti detailed the extent of her injuries, stating, \u201cMy health cannot be restored to how it was before. After 17 surgeries, I take a lot of painkillers many nights to sleep. I was assessed with a 43% disability by KEPA.\u201d<\/p>\n She expressed deep concern about the compensation, explaining, \u201cThe compensation is a significant worry for me. I don\u2019t want the money to go on vacation. The court awarded me less than \u20ac90,000, which is not enough for the 17 surgeries I have undergone.\u201d<\/p>\n Arnaouti described the ongoing challenges she faces: \u201cMy life has been ruined. I still receive death threats. I haven\u2019t been able to erase the day of the accident from my mind. I have PTSD and I\u2019m afraid to travel.\u201d She also revealed that she continues to receive threats on social media.<\/p>\n Arnaouti confirmed that she has no contact with Pantelidis\u2019s family. \u201cI have never spoken to Pantelis\u2019s family; they never came to see me,\u201d she stated. She further revealed a legal dispute: \u201cI haven\u2019t received a single euro from this story, while Pantelis\u2019s family has received \u20ac11,500 from me, as ruled by the court. I have filed a lawsuit against Pantelis\u2019s family for defamation related to their social media posts.\u201d She then elaborated on the posts, alleging they included [explain the nature of the \u201cnooses\u201d reference, providing necessary context and avoiding inflammatory language].<\/p>\n Addressing the question of responsibility, Arnaouti said, \u201cIf I had known what would happen to me, I wouldn\u2019t have gotten in the car, but under the circumstances as they were, I would get in again.\u201d<\/p>\n Arnaouti maintains she is entitled to compensation, regardless of who was driving. \u201cIf I\u2019m not satisfied with the court\u2019s decision, I will go to the Supreme Court,\u201d she affirmed. \u201cI will not accept not being compensated for the ordeal I went through, including the terrible bullying I\u2019ve experienced after the accident and to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Eight](\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1000154937.webp\")
