“Maniatis”, “bracelets” and sworn police officers – How the extortion network worked

There is no end to the list of people caught in the net a criminal organization that was taken down by the extortion department of Attica Security and tied up With cases of extortion, fraud and arms traffickingwith the help of existing police officers.

In fact, he used code names for weapons such as “irons”, “47 such a tall Russian woman” (Kalashnikov), “bracelets”, “spare parts”, “boxes”, “heels”, “clothing” and “shoes” (for regional weapons departments), “gra” , “be”, i.e. cut brands from weapons manufacturers (Grand Power and Beretta) and, finally, the trade name of one of them (Glock), paraphrasing the translation of the English word “clock”.

€885,000 fraud and threats

One of the most profitable “jobs” in the gang. It was V fraud of a 61-year-old man from Syros, from whom a total of 885,000 euros were seized.

At that time, the 61-year-old man won 1,750,000 euros on the Joker, which, apparently, was known to the defendants in the case. The case file shows that the participants in the spiral convinced him that they were the owners of the ship and that they were financing the activities of a casino operating in northern Greece. Thus, they convinced him to participate in this activity himself, promising that within 6 months he would collect his increased capital.

At the same time, what a 66-year-old man reported to the Ioannina Security Department, who was extorted 80,000 euros, shows how the participants in the spiral operate.

“Under the guise of investing in casino customers, with the promise of returning a greatly increased amount of money, they managed to extort 80,000 euros from him.” When the 66-year-old realized he had been scammed and demanded his money back, the bound thugs “threatened him to drop any claim.”
