The 63-year-old Russian woman, who is accused of hitting with her car and then abandoning a dog, in the area of Patela, in Heraklion, on the afternoon of Maundy Thursday, was released with restrictive conditions after her apology to the investigator.

In particular, as neakriti.gr reports, the 63-year-old was banned from leaving the country, and from now on she will appear at the Police Department of her area once a month.

He did it on purpose, claims the dog's owner

The 63-year-old woman, who around 10 am yesterday, was taken to the Heraklion Courthouse, was sued by the owner of the dog, which was injured by the drift and had to undergo surgery. According to her, the 63-year-old intentionally hit her dog.

The video of the unfortunate animal being dragged away is shocking

The incident was recorded by a camera in a shocking video. The video footage shows a car stopped a short distance from the dog, which is alone on the road. Then and without the dog having moved at all, the vehicle begins to move, dragging the unfortunate animal under its wheels.

The dog remains in a veterinary clinic

The dog suffered injuries all over its body, a more serious one on its back leg, and internal bleeding. He underwent surgery and remains hospitalized in a veterinary clinic, according to ERT.

What does the 63-year-old support?

The 63-year-old driver of the vehicle was arrested and, although she claimed that she did not want to hit the animal and that she thought the dog had moved off the road when she stepped on the gas, she is being prosecuted, according to the case file, as a felony for willful injury, causing bodily harm damage and abandonment of a companion animal. She was also imposed an administrative fine of 40,500 euros for violations of the Pet Welfare Legislation.

The owner of the dog was also fined

An administrative fine of 200 euros was also imposed on the owner of the animal for violating the legislation on the welfare of companion animals.
