[00:02:11] week, and a good week again, Monday, guys, it's here. Until the
[00:02:15] holidays come, to forget things a bit, to decorate
[00:02:18] a bit, every Monday is such a dull Monday. Anyway, happy birthday to
[00:02:22] Andromache, happy birthday to Semeon, happy birthday to Valantis and to
[00:02:25] Valantis. Happy birthday to all three of you.
[00:02:28] All right.
[00:02:38] My Giorgos, why, hello Giorgos, let's go to the
[00:02:52] Glyfada, what happened there? So, because
[00:02:55] I was working yesterday and I was one of the first to
[00:02:58] go there at four o'clock. New details are coming to
[00:03:02] light about the identity of the 52-year-old
[00:03:05] victim, known by the nickname "Parrot", he had
[00:03:09] also been involved in the past. He had been involved with the police
[00:03:12] authorities. We are talking about him being out on restrictive terms,
[00:03:16] right? So now what is the
[00:03:18] police looking for? They are looking for the motives, the motives of the
[00:03:22] perpetrators, who it seems, the perpetrators, from the
[00:03:25] way they murdered him, they were professionals. The
[00:03:28] time was around one o'clock, they knew the route, he lived about
[00:03:32] 1 km from the spot, a little further down, 200 m from the golf
[00:03:36] course. So he was on a motorcycle, a motorcycle and
[00:03:39] another motorcycle. Two perpetrators were on large displacement
[00:03:43] motorcycles, so the passenger in the back shot him, guys, eight
[00:03:46] times. Two bullets in the head and another
[00:03:49] six in the body, in the back, while moving. Now,
[00:03:52] when a resident of the area first went there, he thought it
[00:03:56] was a traffic accident. He saw him between the curb and the gutter, yes.
[00:04:03] And then the police understood that it was a murder
[00:04:06] attempt. You will search
[00:04:10] and as you describe to us, all this is confirmed.
[00:04:13] Yes, an ambush. Look, either they were following him, two things, either they
[00:04:16] were following the route he would take from there to go down the coastal
[00:04:20] avenue Karamanli to reach Poseidonos
[00:04:23] or they knew his movements and were waiting for him. But
[00:04:27] the motorcycle that shot him was moving. They are now looking into his
[00:04:31] past. The police authorities will find out
[00:04:34] who really
[00:04:38] had the benefit, let's say in parentheses, to kill him, because they
[00:04:41] killed him like that. Yes, he had been involved
[00:04:44] in many, yes, Giorgos, let's see. He had been involved
[00:04:48] in the past with many issues, extortions, shootings.
[00:04:52] He had a heavy past, known to the authorities. Giorgos,
[00:04:55] thank you, we'll talk in a little while. Let's watch the report.
[00:05:00] captures the ambulance that has arrived at the intersection of Karamanli and Panagouli streets
[00:05:03] in Glyfada a few minutes after the execution of the 52-year-old. Exactly where they
[00:05:07] sprinkled sawdust. The time was around one o'clock. The
[00:05:10] 52-year-old was on a motorcycle with...
[00:05:14] here there are no cameras, it's a blind spot. The two perpetrators were on a motorcycle and
[00:05:18] were wearing dark clothes and helmets. They had set up an ambush, waiting for the victim to
[00:05:22] leave his house, which is about 1 km away from the
[00:05:26] scene of the murder. While moving, the passenger opened fire, hitting
[00:05:29] the 50-year-old in the back, who fell from his motorcycle. Approximately
[00:05:33] five bullets pierced his back and one in his head. Eight
[00:05:36] bullet casings. Either someone was waiting for him there or knew he would pass by. I
[00:05:40] see it as people of the night who went to
[00:05:43] settle some differences. This is the 52-year-old man who
[00:05:47] fell dead at midnight from the murderous fire of the two executioners in
[00:05:51] Glyfada. His image was captured in September 2021, a few
[00:05:55] minutes after he had carried out an armed attack against a
[00:05:58] 30-year-old on a central street in Athens. As was found by
[00:06:02] the investigation of the Greek FBI, the 55-year-old had a heavy criminal record and
[00:06:05] had been arrested as a member of extortion groups. His actions had been linked to
[00:06:09] the so-called "Thamnakias" or "Mad" leader of the
[00:06:13] who was murdered in April 2025 in
[00:06:16] Chalandri, but also with his lieutenant, known as "Black", who
[00:06:19] was killed by executioners' bullets in Ilioupoli in December
[00:06:23] 2020. Besides the night, he had been involved
[00:06:27] in two shooting incidents, which are related to rivalries over
[00:06:30] dominance between supporters of the same football team,
[00:06:34] but also for domestic violence. Among other things, he had
[00:06:37] been arrested in 2011 for incidents at a football match, in
[00:06:40] 2015 for the actions of the extortion group of Thamnakias,
[00:06:44] for an armed attack outside the Olympic stadium in
[00:06:47] 2018, and for shootings in the center of Athens in
[00:06:50] 2022.
[00:06:53] So, let's go now to the case of Philip Kambouris, because the marathons are about what happened during the
[00:06:57] night, so we will have fresh developments for these 11 people, the
[00:07:00] defendants in the case of the criminal organization that allegedly left debts
[00:07:04] of millions of euros to the state and to
[00:07:06] EFKA. This is what happens, they all blame each other, they all deny the
[00:07:10] charges, the two accountants.
[00:07:14] Now what's happening here, because we're talking about large sums of money, someone has to be blamed.
[00:07:17] The apologies continue, the marathon apologies have been going on since
[00:07:21] last night, 11 defendants. Mr. Philip Kambouris says
[00:07:24] that he denies responsibility for the financial management of the companies, he says that he was a
[00:07:27] simple secretary. Let's watch the
[00:07:29] report.
[00:07:33] Philip Kambouris denies any involvement in the management of the financial affairs of the companies in his testimony.
[00:07:36] The alleged leader of the
[00:07:40] criminal organization disclaims responsibility for the debts
[00:07:43] of millions of euros to the state and to EFKA, pointing the finger at
[00:07:47] the accountants. I never had as a job description the
[00:07:50] accounting or tax management of companies, nor did I decide on the
[00:07:53] payment or non-payment of insurance contributions and their tax obligations.
[00:07:57] The relevant issues were handled by the competent accountants, on whose
[00:08:00] instructions I relied when processing the documents they asked
[00:08:04] me to sign.
[00:08:08] For his part, one of the accused accountants denies any involvement in the.
[00:08:16] he did not fulfill his monthly financial obligations to my
[00:08:19] accounting firm and we ceased to keep the accounting books and
[00:08:23] records of his companies. How can I be a member of a criminal
[00:08:26] organization when I have no communication with the alleged
[00:08:29] leaders or accomplices or members of it since 2024?
[00:08:33] The second accused accountant describes the difficulties in cooperating with
[00:08:37] the involved companies. We reached the point of threatening that
[00:08:41] we would not submit the tax declarations if they did not provide us with the appropriate
[00:08:44] documents or account statements because we would not be able to
[00:08:47] submit the financial statements or the tax declaration with unverified and
[00:08:51] inaccurate data. These people had a purely administrative
[00:08:54] role, that all their actions were
[00:08:58] under the instructions of the main defendant. His
[00:09:01] own version is also given by the defendant who appears in the case file as
[00:09:05] a henchman. I had friendly relations with Philip Kambouris, because I had
[00:09:09] professional problems in finding a stable job and a stable salary. He
[00:09:12] suggested I work with him in companies. I knew about the companies I
[00:09:15] regularly worked for, I received a salary from them, but I had no other knowledge or
[00:09:19] involvement in administrative and tax matters. The damage to EFKA
[00:09:22] is estimated at 1.5 million, while the total damage to the
[00:09:25] public is close to 5 million. The defense of
[00:09:28] Philip Kambouris, however, disputes both the size of the debts and the
[00:09:32] charge of fraud and criminal organization. With the evidence
[00:09:36] in the case file, the offenses described
[00:09:39] do not exist. There may be.
[00:09:44] And wrongly, there is damage to EFKA, but this cannot be
[00:09:46] translated into profit for anyone
[00:09:50] involved. After the completion of the apologies, the interrogator and
[00:09:53] prosecutor will decide on the criminal treatment of each of the
[00:09:57] 11 defendants.
[00:10:00] 11 defendants, marathon apologies. Let's go back to Giorgos
[00:10:03] Tselika, Mr. Kambouris says he had no connection, he says, I was a
[00:10:06] secretary. This was not fraud, it's debt,
[00:10:10] he says. Guys, one throws the ball to the other. Now,
[00:10:14] his wife. She is an unskilled secretary, she didn't
[00:10:18] know. I. The accountants, my dear child,
[00:10:21] are to blame. Please, I know about these things. I was.
[00:10:44] testified, the couple, so now the
[00:10:47] rest are expected. We're talking since 10 o'clock yesterday morning they started
[00:10:51] testifying to the interrogator.
[00:10:53] It will be concluded it is still in progress, yes, yes, the
[00:10:57] entire testimony process. Let's see, anyway, in short,
[00:11:01] one blames the other, the accountants are accused, they say
[00:11:04] that Mr. Kambouris instructed us and we did it like that.
[00:11:08] Kambouris says the accountants, I don't know the accounting part.
[00:11:12] I am an entrepreneur, I am a presenter, I am this, I am that. In any
[00:11:16] case, the point is that the truth will come out.
[00:11:19] So, whatever we say, the truth will come out, and what
[00:11:22] fraud was committed against the public, just think. 1.5
[00:11:25] million they stole and another 5
[00:11:29] million from the public.
[00:11:32] It was 5,400 plus over 6.5%. A lot of money, of course,
[00:12:02] sad story, the death of the 20-year-old girl in Thessaloniki, in
[00:12:06] a bar, and the questions are still unanswered at this moment.
[00:12:10] she collapsed after using some narcotic substance, the well-known
[00:12:13] MDMA, at an electronic music party on Saturday
[00:12:16] night. Okay, her father spoke to Sky. What
[00:12:20] can we say, the words, devastated, devastated, and he complains that his daughter had
[00:12:24] been in danger in the past under similar
[00:12:26] circumstances. When we went to the hospital, our
[00:12:30] daughter was already finished,
[00:12:34] finished and I want this
[00:12:36] thing,
[00:12:40] I don't know, a night out that
[00:12:43] ended in tragedy. A girl
[00:12:46] just 20 years old lost her life after using a
[00:12:49] narcotic substance, according to the available data, the
[00:12:53] 20-year-old and her boyfriend were in an entertainment venue in
[00:12:56] Eastern Thessaloniki when they obtained a quantity of the
[00:13:00] narcotic substance MDMA from another unknown
[00:13:04] person. A short time later, the young woman lost her consciousness and was transferred to
[00:13:08] a city hospital, where despite the doctors' efforts, she
[00:13:11] passed away on Saturday morning.
[00:13:14] The girl's father, distraught, speaks to Sky and
[00:13:18] reports that three years ago a similar
[00:13:21] incident occurred with the same person. Yes. three
[00:13:25] years ago, again with the same one, she was 16 then, the
[00:13:29] ambulance came and took her to Hippokratio then again with, again, again with
[00:13:33] excessive, yes. The family speaks of suspicious circumstances
[00:13:37] and asks for all aspects of the case to be investigated. The family is
[00:13:40] determined to investigate everything. The only daughter
[00:13:44] was lost, all those responsible for this
[00:13:47] case must be found and punished. For the
[00:13:51] case, her 20-year-old friend was arrested.
[00:13:55] The 20-year-old was charged with a felony, while he
[00:13:59] requested and received an extension to testify next
[00:14:02] Tuesday. The investigations continue while the
[00:14:05] findings of the forensic examination are awaited, in order
[00:14:09] to investigate the exact causes of
[00:14:11] death.
[00:14:14] So, we will say good morning to Panagiotis Achlatlis in Thessaloniki and we will
[00:14:17] start with exactly this case. Good morning, Panagiotis,
[00:14:21] good week. Good morning, good morning and good week.
[00:14:25] From the shadow of this tragic story, what can one say about this incident,
[00:14:29] what can one say to this father, to this tragic father who lost
[00:14:33] his only child? Let's say that this morning we expect
[00:14:36] the autopsy to be performed
[00:14:39] on the 20-year-old, at the forensic service of
[00:14:42] Thessaloniki, while according to information, the family
[00:14:45] is expected to also appoint a
[00:14:49] technical advisor, as what they
[00:14:52] specifically emphasize, also through their lawyer, is
[00:14:59] that the conditions under which the
[00:15:02] 20-year-old breathed her last after
[00:15:06] consuming drugs of the MDMA
[00:15:09] type are very suspicious.
[00:15:13] The testimony of the father is shocking, as he told us
[00:15:16] specifically that 3 years ago a
[00:15:20] similar incident happened, only in that case they managed
[00:15:23] to save the 20-year-old,
[00:15:25] she was again hospitalized in a hospital.
[00:15:28] The doctors had again fought a superhuman
[00:15:32] battle, a truly moving
[00:15:36] effort, and managed to
[00:15:38] save her in the previous 24 hours. However, we didn't have
[00:15:42] anything like that and we were forced to broadcast this
[00:15:45] tragic story. Courage, courage then,
[00:15:49] Panagiotis, let's also see this shocking image. I was telling Niko
[00:15:53] this, I was telling Niko, guys, during the break, every time I watch this video, I
[00:15:57] focus on a different person. Three
[00:16:00] people were injured, how did we not talk? I heard a lady, she was saying
[00:16:03] we would be talking about funerals in this video. Shocking.
[00:16:08] Another quote, it is very
[00:16:11] simple but also very essential, we survived,
[00:16:15] excuse me, not we survived, we survived, we survived, as if we are talking about
[00:16:19] some war conflict, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I watch the
[00:16:23] video again and again and I truly
[00:16:26] wonder how we didn't have any fatalities. We are at the
[00:16:29] restaurant where this incident happened,
[00:16:33] Sunday morning, a little after
[00:16:36] one, as they tell us. The eyewitnesses from early on
[00:16:39] saw the specific man moving at
[00:16:42] high speed, they obviously realized that he was a person
[00:16:46] driving under the influence of alcohol.
[00:16:50] So he arrives outside the tsipouradiko (ouzo bar) that
[00:16:54] you see behind us and crashes his car into it. He loses control,
[00:16:58] obviously drunk, he loses control and
[00:17:00] enters the area where
[00:17:03] unsuspecting people were having fun. We had
[00:17:06] three injured people. them were discharged.
[00:17:10] One person, for purely political reasons,
[00:17:13] continues to be provocative in his behavior, because
[00:17:16] he did not understand, he had no contact with the environment,
[00:17:20] after he entered the interior, he broke into the
[00:17:23] interior, put it in reverse and
[00:17:26] tried to escape. Oh my God, the customers mobilized,
[00:17:30] and you know what his reaction
[00:17:32] was? He tore off the bumper from his
[00:17:35] car. Oh, good. This was the characteristic phrase. Okay, it's
[00:17:39] not.
[00:17:42] Panagiotis, thank you very much, a very big hello to
[00:17:46] Thessaloniki. Let's watch the
[00:17:55] moment a car veers off course and
[00:17:59] crashes into the tables and chairs at the
[00:18:01] restaurant. The incident happened in the
[00:18:05] early hours on Agamemnon street.
[00:18:19] I saw a flash of light only, and I see
[00:18:23] that a car is coming towards me, the table
[00:18:25] has gone. There was a panic,
[00:18:29] thankfully there were
[00:18:32] the planters. Now I'm just in pain and I can't. The
[00:18:36] planters, otherwise we would have been killed. All of us, with the speed he
[00:18:39] was coming, with the drunkenness he had, with all
[00:18:43] that.
[00:18:47] Scenes of panic followed as three people
[00:18:49] were injured, while the store also suffered damages.
[00:18:53] Three people, a gentleman his children,
[00:18:56] he hit his children. The doctor told him five
[00:19:00] days.
[00:19:02] Another gentleman fell and he
[00:19:06] too.
[00:19:09] head. If the planters had not somehow restrained the car,
[00:19:13] we would have had casualties, said the owner of the establishment. In fact, the
[00:19:17] police had been informed a little earlier that the specific
[00:19:20] car was making dangerous maneuvers. No one
[00:19:23] paid any attention, no one bothered, with the result that in the
[00:19:26] next 8 minutes this person came here, ended up in my
[00:19:30] shop, hit people, if it weren't for the
[00:19:34] planters, we would have had funerals.
[00:19:37] The driver reversed and
[00:19:41] tried to flee, but he was mobilized by the customers
[00:19:44] of the shop. The man was out of place and time and
[00:19:48] full of impudence, that is, he almost had someone's
[00:19:51] throat. He started to leave and they stopped
[00:19:55] him. These people are public dangers, we all stopped him, we took a
[00:19:59] chair. Police officers from the Thessaloniki Traffic Sub-directorate
[00:20:03] who arrived at the scene administered
[00:20:06] an alcohol test to the
[00:20:09] driver of the car, which found that he was under the influence of alcohol and
[00:20:13] had consumed alcohol significantly above
[00:20:16] the maximum permissible limit.
[00:20:19] Shocking,
[00:20:22] shocking video, guys, not what I was telling Niko, every time I focus on a different
[00:20:26] person, on a different person, and I say how is it possible that they survived this? Fortunately by
[00:20:30] a miracle, but unbelievable. So let's go to the fishermen, yes,
[00:20:33] because they continue their protests. in ports and across the country. It seems
[00:20:39] that this is an issue that they are determined to see through
[00:20:43] to the end. The fishermen are all united, yes, yes, because the
[00:20:47] cost is very high. It has increased and they are asking, as
[00:20:50] always, for new support measures. The prime minister, of course, announced the
[00:20:53] doubling of the subsidy for fishing diesel, and also announced new
[00:20:57] interventions. We are waiting to see how it will be done, because this is
[00:21:00] theory in practice, all of it. Let's
[00:21:04] see, the profession has become unviable.
[00:21:07] From the anxiety for survival, they will not
[00:21:11] step on our dignity. In anger and the decision to
[00:21:15] continue their protests, the fishermen speak of
[00:21:18] a cost that has become unbearable and demand
[00:21:21] immediate solutions. Tied up at the quay of Patras are the
[00:21:25] fishing boats here in the Achaean capital. The fishermen
[00:21:28] claim that the costs are now prohibitive and thus they cannot
[00:21:32] go out with their boats to fish in the Ionian Sea. Why, he says, when
[00:21:35] diesel has reached €2 per liter, we want to work with
[00:21:39] 50-60 cents per liter, to pay for it up to
[00:21:42] that much. This way we can be sustainable. This way we can
[00:21:45] work. And it's not just diesel. Costs are
[00:21:48] skyrocketing, while, as they say, the prices they sell
[00:21:51] their products for are very low. At this moment, a
[00:21:55] fishing boat leaves at 7:00 in the evening,
[00:21:59] casts its nets for anchovies and sardines, and returns in the
[00:22:02] morning, and they don't know if the fish will be sold, at what
[00:22:06] price? For the trawl to go to work, 12
[00:22:10] families are fed. We need 12 people just to
[00:22:13] go to work. Imagine and understand how many
[00:22:17] people are fed by these boats. Similar
[00:22:20] mobilizations took place in Volos as well. Fishing boats
[00:22:24] gathered at the port and proceeded to a symbolic
[00:22:27] blockade. It's the fuel, it's the damages from mammals, it's the permits,
[00:22:30] it's the VMS, it's the legislation they've made with electronic invoices, electronic
[00:22:34] scales. The mobilizations reached
[00:22:37] Mytilene, where the coastal fishermen made it clear that the
[00:22:40] aid being promoted is not enough on its own to
[00:22:43] address all their problems, and the message they
[00:22:47] are sending is clear. No more lies, we are determined, we will
[00:22:51] see this through. The Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis
[00:22:54] referred to the strengthening of fishermen in his regular Sunday
[00:22:57] post. Announcing additional
[00:23:01] measures. We are doubling the subsidy for fishing diesel for the period
[00:23:04] April-August to 32 cents per liter to
[00:23:07] support our fishermen. I should also mention that we are already examining other possibilities
[00:23:11] to support the sector, but I will have more to tell you about this towards the end of the
[00:23:15] month. Let's see towards the end of the month, let's
[00:23:19] see why.
[00:23:23] so many, so many are waiting for it
[00:28:34] So, weather forecast because it's mid- October, Saturday
[00:28:38] we saw summer, Sunday we saw autumn, today what will
[00:28:42] we see? Who knows, the expert will tell us better. Rains,
[00:28:45] guys, we will probably see. Follow "Today" with Dimitris Oikonomou and Pitara,
[00:28:49] of course, and we'll talk tomorrow at five. Good morning,
[00:28:51] everyone.
[00:28:59] Good day to you. Today, Monday, the day will start with rain and
[00:29:03] some thunderstorms in Eastern Macedonia, Thrace and the Eastern Aegean,
[00:29:06] we will also have some scattered local showers in other continental areas.
[00:29:10] Winds will be westerly, northwesterly in the west and southern seas, reaching locally
[00:29:14] 5 Beaufort. The temperature at noon in most
[00:29:17] areas, at 24 to
[00:29:20] 26°C. In Attica we expect increased clouds, there is a possibility
[00:29:24] of some local rain in the morning. The temperature at noon will be 25°C
[00:29:27] and the winds will generally be light. In Thessaloniki we expect generally clear
[00:29:31] weather with little cloud. The northwesterly winds in the morning will reach
[00:29:34] locally up to 5 Beaufort, the temperature up to 23°C at
[00:29:37] noon. Tuesday will start with some scattered local showers,
[00:29:41] but from noon and especially from the afternoon we expect intense rains and thunderstorms in
[00:29:45] areas around Evia, Sporades, in eastern Thessaly,
[00:29:48] but also in the Aegean.
[00:29:51] The winds will strengthen from noon afternoon onwards in the northern parts and in the
[00:29:54] northern Ionian, but also in the northern Aegean, they will reach even 7 Beaufort. The
[00:29:58] temperature will drop in most areas, so in northern Greece.
[00:30:02] the thermometer will not exceed 20°C. On Wednesday
[00:30:05] the day will start with intense rains and thunderstorms in the Aegean, but also in areas around Evia
[00:30:09] and in eastern mainland Greece, gradually the phenomena will be limited to the Aegean
[00:30:13] and will weaken. On Thursday the weather will be improved in the Ionian and the
[00:30:16] mainland. We will still have some local showers in areas of the Aegean. The
[00:30:20] temperature on Wednesday will show a small further drop.

[00:30:26] day.
