Who is behind the “death contract” of a journalist Giorgos Karaivaz the authorities are looking for and, in addition to the two arrested brothers, three more appear in the case file.

However, according to available information, insufficient evidence has been obtained to issue a warrant for their arrest. The motive behind the murder of the police reporter remains unknown at this time.

The cell phone store in Ampelokipis “connects the dots” in the case: it is the store where two cell phones were bought, which the perpetrators of the murder used to communicate with each other while carrying out their plan.

A suspicious van bearing the name of a cleaning company, which had “no reason” to be in the Alimos area on the eve and day of the journalist’s murder, led to the arrest of his 48-year-old manager and his 40-year-old older brother.

The two alleged perpetrators were calm at the time of their arrest and, according to ERT, appeared to be “prepared”. A typical dialogue between a 40-year-old man and his mother two days before his arrest, as he allegedly he tried to build an alibito have false information about the company’s cooperation with buildings in the Alimos area.

• Mother 40 years oldA: Let me take the car there, my child. You understand;
• 40 years: Where does A… live?
• Mother 40 years old: Salty. And he told me this … how many times.
• 40 years: But S… has a job there, and we handed out flyers to clean up where we were together.

The attackers used mobile phones with “ghost” numbers belonging to a resident of Bangladesh. Calls between the two numbers were recorded the day before and the day of the murder at the crime scene.

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.

Suspicious owner contacts

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 to the same group. near the gym in Galatsi. 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.
