Ahead of a hearing Tuesday, July 25, into the 62-year-old’s request for release from house arrest on bail, she suffered a medical attack in a court cell.
It is the second time in a week that she has had a hypoglycemic attack while in detention.
Polymiadis was wheeled out of the Supreme Court building in a hospital bed just before 4pm, face and body covered with a sheet.
Her lawyer told the court in a previous appearance that Polymiadis had not had access to the right medication, which caused her blood sugar levels to drop.
The bail hearing will resume Friday morning.
