Mareva Grabowski-Mitsotakis, the wife of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, suffered an accident on Saturday, 7 February 2026, in Milan, Italy, while accompanying the prime minister to the opening ceremony of the Milano–Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.

The Nature of the Incident

Greek and international press describe the event simply as a traffic accident that occurred while the couple was in Italy.
Some foreign outlets explicitly refer to it as a car accident.
No official detailed reconstruction of the mechanics of the accident — such as how it occurred, whether it involved other vehicles, or if it happened during a specific activity — has been released by authorities.

Injuries and Medical Response

After returning to Greece, Mrs Grabowski-Mitsotakis was hospitalized at KAT General Hospital in Athens, a central trauma and microsurgery facility.
She underwent surgery on both of her hands by Emmanouil Fandridis, head of the hospital’s hand and upper limb microsurgery unit.
Officials and reports state her condition was stable and she was recovering with the prime minister by her side.
She was discharged from the hospital after the procedure, according to Greek sources.

Additional Commentary on Injury Detail

TV host Γιώργος Λιάγκας, speaking on Το Πρωινό, shared additional context about the injuries:
- He said that the more serious injury was to one arm, particularly around the shoulder area of that side.
- He mentioned that she had a pre-existing history of tendonitis in that arm, and that the accident caused a significant impact to that area.
- He described the other arm as having a much lighter injury, also treated surgically.
- He also clarified that he did not know the exact circumstances of the accident itself, only the aftermath as relayed by sources.
- Lιάγκας emphasized that Prime Minister Mitsotakis remained constantly at her side during treatment and recovery.

Current Status

According to all reports, Mrs Grabowski-Mitsotakis is recovering at home after surgery and is described as being in good overall health.
Official authorities have so far focused communication on her health and recovery rather than on specific details of how the accident occurred.
