Greek authorities are escalating efforts to apprehend four individuals connected to an ongoing Greek Mafia investigation. These four suspects remain at large, prompting officials to publicise details of all eight individuals involved. This move comes in response to reports suggesting attempts to reestablish the criminal groups involved.
Reports indicate potential efforts to revive the groups, prompting authorities to stress the challenges and consequences of engaging in criminal activities.
By sharing this information, authorities aim to gather further intelligence on the wanted individuals, their associates, and potential accomplices. Among the suspects are expatriates from Georgia, Uzbekistan, and Russia, as well as Albanian and Greek nationals.
Police investigations have linked the criminal organisation to several serious crimes, including murders, attempted homicides, and arson attacks. Recent incidents include the murders of Yannis Skaftouros, Vassilis Roumpetis, and Dionysis Mouzakitis, alongside arson attacks in Aspropyrgos.
Despite ongoing efforts, half of the suspects remain elusive, fuelling concerns of a resurgence in criminal activities. Efforts to locate and apprehend these individuals are ongoing.
Recent arrests in connection with attacks on a petrol station in Piraeus and a liquor store in Kallithea underscore law enforcement's determination to combat organised crime. These arrests follow a series of coordinated attacks earlier this year, including bombings and arson incidents.
As investigations continue, authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any relevant information.
