The footage captures the chaotic events that unfolded, offering crucial insights into what authorities believe was a gang-related settling of scores involving the Turkish mafia.
On Monday morning, panic erupted in the Ano Glyfada area around 10 a.m. when at least two armed assailants opened fire on three Turkish nationals outside a local shop. Witnesses described scenes of terror as the victims attempted to flee, seeking refuge in nearby businesses. Despite their efforts, the attackers pursued and fatally shot two of the men, while a third victim sustained a serious gunshot wound.
The injured man, identified as having a penetrating wound to his abdomen, was rushed to Asclepius Voula Hospital. Hospital commander Emilio Vougiouklakis confirmed the man underwent surgery and is now in stable condition.
The newly surfaced video has been instrumental in advancing the investigation. Authorities now believe seven individuals were involved in the attack, and the footage helped confirm this number. Additionally, over 20 shell casings were recovered at the crime scene, along with a firearm and a jacket found in the yard of a nearby home.
Police have arrested two suspects, identified as Turkish nationals of Kurdish origin. Neither suspect had previously come to the attention of law enforcement. One of the detainees is believed to have wielded a weapon during the attack.
Authorities have also identified four additional suspects and are coordinating with Turkish officials to gather information on the criminal backgrounds of both the victims and the perpetrators.
The violent incident occurred disturbingly close to a kindergarten, raising concerns among local residents. The brazenness of the attack, carried out in broad daylight in a bustling area, has left the community reeling.
