A rape case has been solved by a Greek court, leading to the conviction of an Albanian.
The iPhone helped investigators solve a rape case and the court punish the suspected perpetrator based on this evidence.
The Court of Appeal of Crete in Greece has definitively sentenced a 48-year-old Albanian, father of four, to 11 years and 3 months in prison after being found guilty of theft, rape, and even violence against police officers, in addition to illegal entry into the country.
The defendant, who lives in Chania, denied the charges against him, except for theft, but was unable to convince the court, also due to some new evidence provided by the Prosecution. The court also decided that the sentence will be served in the cells of Grevena prison, where he has been held since his arrest in 2021.
The case began to unravel on August 17, 2021, when a couple of Irish tourists went to Platanias beach for a night swim. But after they emerged from the sea, shortly after 01:00, they discovered that an iPhone, a wallet and a watch worth 500 euros had been stolen from their bag.
Using the other iPhone, which the girl had on her, the tracking app was activated and at a nearby location the couple spotted the defendant along with another associate who was holding the phone, while his watch was later found.
This further revealed that the 48-year-old had also participated in the gang rape of a Swedish tourist a few days before stealing the phone, an event that occurred on August 11 of that year, just before 01:00, again on Platanias beach.
At the hearing, which lasted approximately 4 hours, witness statements were read, while two police officers testified in the trial about the details.
