In a dramatic escalation, Olympiacos FC’s leadership, including president Vangelis Marinakis and Piraeus mayor Yiannis Moralis, has been ordered to stand trial on misdemeanor charges tied to the 2023 death of police officer Giorgos Lyggeridis in a hooligan clash in Renti. The club has fired back, branding the case a ‘political persecution’ orchestrated by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ government. Olympiacos alleges the charges—lacking ‘even a single piece of real evidence’—stem from fabricated claims, including accusations of inciting fans and supporting a criminal group, and vows to fight back in Greek and European courts.
