A cell phone shop in Ampelokipi joins the cause. murder journalist George Karaivaz. This is the store where two mobile phones were bought, which the perpetrators of the murder used to communicate with each other while carrying out their plan.

The devices belong to two Bangladeshi figureheads and were activated on the day of the assassination (April 9, 2021) and the day before, with police assessing that the attackers’ original plan was to execute Karaiwaz on April 8 a day. previously.

The shop owner was reportedly in contact with two men accused by prosecutors in 2015 of being part of a group of thugs who were selling protection to 150 cafes and bars in Attica.

The first of them is described as the leader of the spiral. Following an assassination attempt on him in 2020, his mobile phone was searched in Wari and his links to a shopkeeper in Ampelokipi were found.

The second is described as the right hand of the leader of the bravo team. In 2015, the police confiscated SIM cards purchased from the same store at his home. Some time after the murder of the journalist, he himself sent a text message to the store owner.

With the help of this sequence of data (recorded in the case file), the police are trying to prove that the killers of Giorgos Karaivaz come from a certain group of the Greek mafia. It is also possible to designate a moral criminal without case materials, skipping semantic-evidentiary leaps.

In addition, a 2015 investigation revealed that one of the brothers arrested on Friday for shooting a journalist was also involved in this particular group. The court documents of this case indicate that the detainee collected money for security from a certain Kerameikos store.

Citing information from anonymous sources, the police attributed the murder of boxer Haris Kontogiorgis in 2021 at the gym in Galatsi to the same group. Court documents in the Karaiwaz case state that the “Killer” and “Extortionist” of the Security Service received information that four specific individuals were planning to kill Kontoorgis. These are the two brothers arrested in the Karaivaz case, the alleged deputy leader of the group, and another person.

On the day of the murder of the journalist, three of the four were and moved together, as can be seen from the work of their mobile phones. During a critical period shortly before and shortly after a kill, the devices of all three are suspended.

The owner of the mobile phone shop was interrogated by the police, not denying his acquaintance with the leaders of the extortion group. He claimed that the communication with the boss concerned problems with fixed and mobile phones. He also said that he himself called the deputy head of the district to “unravel.”
