Mystras man gets suspended sentence for hiding father's body in freezer

A 55-year-old Greek man who hid his dead father's body in a freezer at his Mystras guesthouse received an 11-month suspended prison sentence for false testimony to police. In a television interview, he said he now realizes his behavior was wrong and denied financial motives, noting he had built the guesthouse himself. His lawyer said the man received pharmaceutical treatment and had medical prescriptions. Fraud charges over collecting his father's pension remain pending because the financial damage is undetermined. An autopsy will establish the exact time of death; initial findings suggest natural causes.
