With the confession of the 9th defendant, the trial of the murder, out of fan motives, at the expense of the 19-year-old continued Alki Campanu. The 26-year-old navigator of the third car confessed before the Mixed Jury in Thessaloniki that he had stabbed his friend Alki twice, but stated that he did not know who had stabbed the deceased 19-year-old..

Same he redacted much of what he said in his inquest statement, a fact that was commented on by the seat of the court. “What I am telling you today is the truth. I could not put things in order, I was completely confused and confused. I know what I did. What others have done, they know,” replied the 26-year-old man, who is described as an “Athenian”. “Everything I say is meaningless. Words in the face of the death of a small child mean nothing. I, too, felt the pain of the recent death of my own person. I offer my deepest apologies to the Campanu family and friends of Alki,” he said at the beginning of the apology and stressed that he often visited the PAOK association in Athens. In 2020, he settled in Thessaloniki with a girl and since then, as he mentioned, he often visited the Tiras 4 club.

He then focused on the incident in Oreokastro that preceded the violent attack by the fans and appeared to be the cause of what happened in Harilau. “There was a disconnect. Some (including Ari’s followers) were chasing children with axes and big swords at school,” he noted, adding that he spontaneously agreed to “go to Harilau, fight,” as he said.

The 26-year-old chef admitted that he took a karabi-type knife with him from the establishment. “I took the smallest knife, the most harmless, as it seemed to me then. He had the smallest llama. I used these knives in the kitchen,” he said, and justifying this particular choice, he said that he took it because, as he noted: “I thought they would not wait for us.”

Of the other passengers in the third car, he said that the 11th had a stick and the 10th had a red crowbar, which he later learned was a scythe. For his friend, the 12th defendant (the driver of a specific car), he stated that he did not go out at all, but only agreed to drive them.
