At the same time, he was appointed as an expert witness for the Swiss judicial system.
With an impressive academic background and valuable experience gained from the top positions he held abroad, he returned to Greece, settled in the capital, and, full of dreams, was preparing to open his private practice in Nea Smyrni. He had arranged everything down to the last detail and was filled with an inexhaustible desire to serve his fellow human beings. The clinic was set to open last Monday, and he was also planning the grand opening. Unfortunately, however, he never got the chance…
