00:00:08The government has declared a national energy emergency as drought
00:00:11has reduced electricity production and restricted imports across
00:00:15eastern Europe.
00:00:18and in Slovenia, the nuclear
00:00:21power plant is reducing its production by 20%
00:00:24due to high temperatures and low river levels.
00:00:28Authorities warn that they will proceed with
00:00:30further cuts if necessary.
00:00:34Increased activity has been recorded in the Aegean in recent
00:00:37days, with continuous violations by Turkish drones now being joined by
00:00:41violations by fighter jets. Stavros Ioannidis has all the
00:00:45information. Christina, in recent days we have had a barrage
00:00:48of violations, but today the situation was different because in addition to
00:00:51manned aircraft, and some maritime patrol aircraft,
00:00:55we also had fighter jets. There were
00:00:59a total of 17 violations, two by a pair of Turkish
00:01:02F-16s. The interesting thing, however, is that as
00:01:06Greek fighter jets took off to intercept
00:01:09the Turkish aircraft, there was also an engagement, a simulated
00:01:13dogfight, with one of the Turkish F16s, which refused to
00:01:17obey the instructions of the Greek pilots, followed
00:01:21by, as we said, a short engagement before
00:01:25they departed from the Athens FIR.
00:01:28This is the third day that
00:01:31we are recording several such violations, in previous
00:01:35days Turkish drones were mainly in the spotlight, but today we also had fighter jets.
00:01:38Thank you very much, Stavros. The project of the
00:01:42electrical interconnection between Greece and Cyprus is gaining
00:01:46new momentum with the entry of the French Meridiam group. The government
00:01:49speaks of a vote of confidence with geopolitical significance, while the
00:01:53opposition insists on questions about the progress and timeline of the
00:01:56project. After the very long short circuit...
00:02:00The electrical interconnection of Greece-Cyprus is now connected to the French socket
00:02:04of Meridiam in order for the GSI to acquire the necessary
00:02:07momentum.
00:02:10The participation of the European giant, according to government officials and analysts, not
00:02:13only brings new capital. It ensures know-how,
00:02:17and at the same time sends a message that the cable remains a strategic priority for
00:02:21Europe, while for Athens the agreement also serves as an answer to
00:02:24those who questioned the viability of the project. We are thus moving towards
00:02:28the creation of a an energy
00:02:31interconnection in the Eastern Mediterranean, which at
00:02:34this moment, after the crisis we have in the Middle East and the Strait
00:02:38of Hormuz, takes on an increased geopolitical
00:02:41importance for all of Europe. This answers those who had
00:02:44second thoughts about whether the project is sound, whether the project is feasible, whether the project
00:02:48is worth pursuing.
00:02:52Within two months, the geopolitical plaster around the
00:02:55project broke. The first step was taken with Macron's visit to Athens last
00:02:59April. The presence of the head of Meridiam
00:03:02Do was followed in May by crucial contacts under the
00:03:06radar of the Minister of Environment with the leading executives of the investment
00:03:09giant, who put the French key in the door of the GSI.
00:03:13There is also a defense agreement which we recently renewed with
00:03:16France, article two of which states that
00:03:20France will assist Greece in the event that our sovereignty is called
00:03:24into question. I mean, there is a strategic relationship with the French
00:03:28here, which undoubtedly facilitates the leverage of capital, which is
00:03:31significant for us to be able to move forward, and constitutes a
00:03:34significant economic and technical development that will take the
00:03:38project many steps forward. On the other hand, according to experts,
00:03:42the creation of an energy highway in the eastern
00:03:46Mediterranean, where Greece is the central station, is evident, both with the vertical
00:03:49natural gas corridor and with the electrical interconnection cable
00:03:53between Greece and Egypt. We stand by the need for the
00:03:56government, in light of new developments, to give us a clear
00:04:00and binding timeline for the implementation of the project. What will happen
00:04:03if Turkey obstructs, again, as in 2024 in Kasos, the
00:04:07laying of the cable? All this time, all this time it was saying nothing is happening,
00:04:10and now it finds something else. So, the
00:04:14implementation of an energy project important for Europe
00:04:17can only happen through Europe. The basic assessment
00:04:21sets the milestone for the resumption of research within the coming
00:04:24September. The 26-year-old man
00:04:28accused of the murder of Elizabeth Jane Ross, whose
00:04:31body was found in a suitcase in Kypseli, was remanded in custody
00:04:35after his testimony. He did not appear to give substantive answers to the interrogator,
00:04:39citing the incomplete case file, according to his
00:04:42defense. Accompanied by police, the 26-year-old
00:04:45accused of the murder of British national Elizabeth Jane Ross
00:04:49leaves the Evelpidon courthouses.
00:04:53During his testimony, the man from Afghanistan exercised his right to
00:04:56silence and, with the agreement of the prosecutor and the interrogator,
00:04:59was remanded in custody. Until this moment, he continues to deny
00:05:03the charges against him, insisting on what he had claimed before the
00:05:07police. When I turned on the lights and went to the
00:05:10bathroom, I noticed that she
00:05:13was lying on the bathroom floor and something like water was coming out of
00:05:16her mouth. I spoke to her two or three times, but she did not
00:05:20answer, I froze, my legs gave way. The
00:05:23family of the 38-year-old issued its first public
00:05:27statement. Lisa will forever remain in our memory as a
00:05:30kind, upright and selfless person. Her
00:05:33integrity was non-negotiable and she dedicated her
00:05:36life to helping people in need. In her
00:05:39testimony to the authorities, the wife of the 26-year-old stated that she
00:05:43suspected him from the very beginning of the murder of the 38-year-old
00:05:47British woman. Combining dates, messages, and my husband's
00:05:50behavior, I have various thoughts that make me
00:05:54uncomfortable. In another part of her testimony, the 26-year-old's
00:05:57wife states that she had sent messages to the British woman to
00:06:01find out if she was okay. The answers she received seemed
00:06:04suspicious. These messages were not in Lisa's style, neither
00:06:08in terms of her English level, nor in terms of her use of emojis, which...
00:06:42for intentional homicide, he submitted a request to the interrogator for the
00:06:46victim's medical file to be provided to him, in order to check if
00:06:50she was facing health
00:06:53issues. In Mystras Laconia, the case of the 55-year-old man who allegedly
00:06:57kept his father's body in a freezer continues to cause
00:07:01shock. Toxicology tests are expected to shed light, and
00:07:04we also have an initial conclusion from the autopsy. Eleni
00:07:08Paraskevopoulou has all the information. Eleni.
00:07:13It seems that the medical examiner
00:07:16concludes that the 90-year-old
00:07:19man died of natural causes, but this is not something that
00:07:22we can say at this moment before the
00:07:26completion of the toxicology tests, as you mentioned,
00:07:29it is an initial estimate that is being made at this
00:07:33moment, at the same time, the time of death of the
00:07:3690-year-old man cannot be determined, and this is because
00:07:40his body was in deep freeze and
00:07:44we cannot reach this, he could not reach this
00:07:47conclusion, what exactly is happening now, the
00:07:5190-year-old's medication has been requested
00:07:53to see from the course of the medications, if
00:07:57there was any interruption in the prescription, if
00:08:00the prescription was continuing and this will not be able to give safe
00:08:03conclusions as
00:08:07the 55-year-old could have continued the
00:08:10prescription, let's say that he himself is
00:08:13devastated, as his lawyer told
00:08:16us, he has now realized what exactly
00:08:19he has done, as he says, and he is
00:08:23devastated, he says that in no
00:08:27way did he want to proceed with this act, but he did not
00:08:30want to part with his father with whom he was very close,
00:08:34these have been conveyed to us and we await developments
00:08:38Friday tomorrow at 12:00 where...
00:08:42the 55-year-old is expected to be
00:08:45tried. Thank you very much Eleni. In the economic news,
00:08:49Greece submitted a request to the Commission for the activation of the escape
00:08:52clause with the aim of strengthening the energy resilience of
00:08:56our country. More now about the amount of
00:08:59investments sought, and in which sectors, Chrysostomos Tsoufis will tell
00:09:03us. Christina, in essence, Kyriakos
00:09:06Pierrakakis is asking the Commission to
00:09:08extend the escape clause, in addition to defense spending.
00:09:12for which it already applies, to energy spending which will aim to
00:09:16strengthen the country's energy system and to
00:09:19accelerate the country's independence from fossil
00:09:22fuels. Such expenditures Greece has in the pipeline and
00:09:26amount to one billion by
00:09:292028. If the Greek request
00:09:32is approved, these expenditures will not be counted towards the ceiling
00:09:36of expenditures that the fiscal European rules allow us every
00:09:39year. They will, however, be counted towards
00:09:42the debt and the fiscal result of the
00:09:45budget. Such projects that could be
00:09:48financed by these investments are energy
00:09:52storage projects, energy saving projects,
00:09:55building upgrades and new
00:09:58infrastructure. How exactly this
00:10:01one billion euros will be distributed will be seen in the
00:10:05coming days when it will be specified by the competent ministers
00:10:09of the government. Thank you very much.
00:10:12The Prime Minister sent a message of continuing the fight against the deep state,
00:10:15cronyism, and old-school politics, presenting the new Maiagro platform
00:10:19for agricultural subsidies after the absorption of the PKC by the
00:10:23government. At the same time, the government committee for industry finalized the
00:10:27plan to strengthen industry and
00:10:30manufacturing. A new framework for strengthening Greek
00:10:33industry and manufacturing with a focus on investments, reducing energy
00:10:37costs, simplifying procedures and utilizing European funds,
00:10:40was at the center of the meeting of the government committee for industry
00:10:44under the Prime Minister. In view of our government program which
00:10:48we will develop and present with a horizon of the
00:10:51spring elections of 2027, the strengthening
00:10:55of investments primarily in manufacturing and
00:10:58industry will constitute a central pillar and a central political
00:11:02priority. At the meeting, the seven priorities for the next
00:11:06period were discussed, among which are the acceleration of 11 critical
00:11:09reforms for industry and manufacturing, the support of
00:11:12productive investments amounting to 3.7
00:11:16billion and the mobilization of 700 million to reduce
00:11:20energy costs. More investments. Productive
00:11:22investments in the country, continuously increasing industrial
00:11:26exports, 60,000
00:11:29new jobs and better wages for industrial workers can
00:11:32now constitute a life plan for new
00:11:35generations. Earlier, the myagro platform
00:11:39of the Independent Authority for Public Revenue was launched, through which farmers
00:11:42and livestock breeders submit their single aid application
00:11:46for 2026. The country can no longer be a
00:11:50victim of circuits, the
00:11:53deep state, cronyism, old-school politics, all these
00:11:57ultimately work against the vast majority of
00:12:00honest farmers, honest livestock breeders, who
00:12:03now see with the payments that have been made that
00:12:07they are entitled to more money than they received in the past. It is provided
00:12:11for the first time that for farmers who submit their applications by
00:12:14September 15, the advance payment will be made by
00:12:18October 31, while for the remaining applications by November
00:12:2130. The conflict continues
00:12:26between Adonis Georgiadis and PASOK over the recycling
00:12:30kiosks case. The two sides are exchanging heavy accusations,
00:12:34while the matter is still being investigated by the European Public Prosecutor's Office.
00:12:37The fierce dispute between Adonis Georgiadis and PASOK over the
00:12:41recycling kiosks of Tehan and the cost of their acquisition
00:12:44continues. I will expose the hypocrisy of
00:12:47PASOK, which made its leader make a video about a scandal for which,
00:12:51I repeat, the Secretary of Institutions and Transparency of
00:12:55PASOK has given a written opinion that what
00:12:59EDEL says about the wrong procedure and the wrong estimate is
00:13:02lies. So, instead of attacking PASOK and Nikos
00:13:05Androulakis, Mr. Georgiadis must answer why the Ministry
00:13:09of Finance proceeded with decisions to recover 40
00:13:12million. Why is the case being investigated by the
00:13:15European Public Prosecutor's Office? A fiscal correction does not automatically
00:13:19mean fraud, corruption, or criminal scandal, just as the
00:13:22investigation of a case by any authority does not constitute
00:13:26proof of guilt. This applies to everyone in a state of law. The
00:13:29spokesman of PASOK criticizes Adonis Georgiadis for an internal party
00:13:33rebellion, with the Minister of Health clarifying that he never
00:13:36questioned Kyriakos Pierrakakis. If Mr.
00:13:39Georgiadis has reservations or objections, it would be good for him to
00:13:43address the political head of the Ministry of National Economy and
00:13:46Finance, Mr. Pierrakakis, unless he is deliberately attacking
00:13:50the Minister of Finance for internal party reasons. It would not surprise
00:13:53us. I did not question EDEL, nor the Ministry of National
00:13:57Economy and Finance, nor of course Kyriakos Pierrakakis. Fiscal
00:14:01corrections and recovery decisions are specific
00:14:04administrative acts which were issued and are in force. But
00:14:08that is one thing, and the claim of PASOK that with these
00:14:11a scandal was proven, overpricing or rigged
00:14:14tenders, is another. In short, he tells us that what he said yesterday is
00:14:18not true and was empty talk and sophistry. Who will bear the
00:14:22cost of the 40 million that arises from the actions that today
00:14:25are declared to actually apply normally? Perhaps the municipalities and the
00:14:28citizens? Adonis Georgiadis with a lengthy post
00:14:32also responded to yesterday's statement by the Secretary of Institutions of PASOK,
00:14:36who implied that the Minister of Health distorts her
00:14:39opinion. The texts exist, the signatures
00:14:42exist, and fortunately we can all read Greek. From the moment PASOK
00:14:46kept her in her position, PASOK can no longer not
00:14:50accept what the Secretary of Institutions and Transparency advised the public
00:14:53regarding the aforementioned case. Mr. Georgiadis
00:14:57continues to confuse different legal
00:15:00issues, and the government still owes the answers, and ultimately
00:15:03justice will seek them. The case of the recycling kiosks
00:15:07is under the microscope of the European
00:15:10Public Prosecutor's Office. The departures from the Hope for
00:15:13Democracy movement have now taken the form of dominoes. Almost daily, a
00:15:17new departure is added, with criticism of the way the party operates.
00:15:21In a new announcement, she responds that the target is not
00:15:25her, but the crumbling system of power. Two
00:15:28more new departures for the Hope for Democracy
00:15:31movement. These are the director Asterios Gerogiannis and the
00:15:34member of the Thessaloniki and Macedonia organization, Giannis
00:15:38Chatzistogiannis, with the latter speaking of decisions by closed centers.
00:15:41Politics requires a clear statute and a
00:15:44leadership that can unite, embrace, and
00:15:48inspire, not operate with autocratic stereotypes,
00:15:51closed circles, and decisions made by
00:15:54closed centers. These
00:15:57developments come after the public letter from 22 former
00:16:00officials of the movement, in which they launched accusations of
00:16:03centralization tactics. The democratic procedures,
00:16:08we intended to create the prefectural committee, we started the
00:16:11procedures to hold elections, they told us no, you will not hold
00:16:15elections, because they were in a mindset to
00:16:18appoint even the coordinators, hints of
00:16:21parallel fermentations within the movement, said Maria
00:16:25Gratsia. I must say that I do not even know the 11 people, and neither
00:16:28does the president, very quickly 22
00:16:32people coordinate, sign a
00:16:35letter, and it is now revealed that within the movement
00:16:39there were parallel fermentations. Movements that
00:16:43start from the people have no name, they are popular movements, not even
00:16:46Andreas Papandreou dared to put his name on his movement. Some
00:16:50envision policies for a proud, dignified, free,
00:16:53independent Greece, and others dream of parliamentary seats and
00:16:57conspiracies, when democracy abruptly awakens them
00:17:00and shatters their dream. At the same time, Maria Ioannidou, who
00:17:04recently left the party, strongly reacted against
00:17:08Michalis Christodoulidis, a member of the political council, who had attacked officials who
00:17:12left. As far as I am concerned, I still believe that
00:17:15politics cannot be separated from ethics. My
00:17:19understanding of political responsibility and public stance differs
00:17:23substantially from what some members of the political council
00:17:26seem to adopt. Some nobodies whom their mothers
00:17:30didn't even know, were made prominent figures in public life,
00:17:34supposedly dissatisfied because they didn't get what they
00:17:37expected. At the same time, Hope for Democracy issued a new
00:17:41announcement. The goal is Maria Karistianou's movement
00:17:45and not the corrupt system of absolute entanglement.
00:17:49Tomorrow Maria Karistianou will be in Larissa for a tour. A team of the
00:17:52movement will visit the fire-stricken areas of Western
00:17:55Attica. The possibility of a new form
00:17:59of hybrid warfare is at the center of German authorities' attention
00:18:02after the discovery of a drone with explosives inside
00:18:05Leipzig airport. The incident has caused intense concern
00:18:09for the security of critical infrastructure in the country.
00:18:13The specter of a new explosive threat looms over German
00:18:17cities and infrastructure. The discovery of a
00:18:20drone with explosives inside Leipzig airport, next to a
00:18:24Ukrainian transport aircraft, puts the security authorities
00:18:27on alert, who initially appeared unprepared, while the German
00:18:31media are demanding
00:18:32answers.
00:19:01My assessment is that we are dealing with a
00:19:04hybrid attack scenario here,
00:19:07because with hybrid threats we must expect that critical
00:19:11infrastructures, power suppliers, IT centers, data centers,
00:19:15trains, bridges, transport routes,
00:19:32in 2025 alone, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered
00:19:35around 1200 suspicious cases. Affected were mainly airports,
00:19:39military facilities and other critical
00:19:42infrastructure. In any case, what concerns
00:19:45the weapon system drone can already be seen
00:19:49as an escalation of a kind.
00:19:52And one must indeed see, if a state actor
00:19:56such as Russia is behind it, there are of course geopolitical motivations to perhaps
00:20:00escalate further here.
00:20:08even if the damage in the hinterland in Russia and Ukraine is now
00:20:11escalating, this is still a raised
00:20:14finger, we can also make it explosive for you, I
00:20:18believe that is the message from Moscow, if it was
00:20:21of Moscow origin.
00:20:25Germany has had a special analysis service since last year and
00:20:28some technical means of neutralization,
00:20:31but dealing with the new hybrid threat requires
00:20:35general alert.
00:20:37As you understand, there are many and serious questions that arise, especially
00:20:41regarding security. We are talking about one of the largest airports in Germany and we have other
00:20:44revelations. Dimitra Kyranoudi is with us to examine all these developments.
00:20:48Dimitra.
00:20:51Hello from Berlin, Christina, new information is constantly coming
00:20:54in about this serious incident, about this
00:20:57hybrid attack at
00:21:00Leipzig airport with the drone trapped
00:21:04with explosives. A last-minute development, the
00:21:08German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrind, a short while ago,
00:21:11denied reports from three
00:21:14German networks, which cited classified
00:21:17police information, according to
00:21:20which this particular drone was found near Ukrainian
00:21:23transport aircraft, one of which was carrying
00:21:26military ammunition, possibly from
00:21:29France, with an unknown destination. Beyond
00:21:32that, according to the same
00:21:36journalistic information, this
00:21:39particular drone even entered the airport area
00:21:42several hours earlier than when it was spotted around 7:30
00:21:46local time, while it was spotted in the...
00:21:52that is, there is a long period during
00:21:56which this particular drone had even been seen
00:22:00hovering over the airport without
00:22:04the special anti-drone systems that Leipzig airport
00:22:07has detecting it, precisely because it is considered critical
00:22:11infrastructure. At the same time, the investigations of the German
00:22:14authorities are also focusing on the second incident with the
00:22:17DHL transport aircraft, which, it seems,
00:22:21collided with an object that is probably
00:22:25a drone. The authorities are examining first of all what cargo
00:22:28the specific transport aircraft contained, and also where
00:22:31this drone is, because its remains have not yet been found.
00:22:35In any case, it is very serious for the security of
00:22:39countries in general, perhaps of Europe. However, for Germany, the matter has
00:22:43also taken on political dimensions.
00:22:46And while the government speaks of a hybrid threat and of a specific
00:22:50and imminent danger to state security, the
00:22:53opposition, and specifically the Greens, are demanding the immediate
00:22:56convening of the National Security Council and are raising
00:23:00serious questions to the German government: firstly, why did
00:23:03this expensive anti-drone system not
00:23:06work, and also what information
00:23:09they had about this case,
00:23:13and of course, questions are also being raised about the readiness of the German
00:23:16government, as neither Chancellor Friedrich
00:23:20nor Defense Minister Boris Pistorius
00:23:23were in Leipzig to assess the situation. Dimitra,
00:23:27thank you very much. Russia's provocation plan using
00:23:31seized Ukrainian drones is denounced by the Lithuanian Defense Minister
00:23:34Giorgfelidis. Officials of the Lithuanian intelligence services
00:23:38believe that Russia is considering the use of seized
00:23:41Ukrainian-made drones to organize
00:23:44offensive deception operations in this Baltic country, as stated by the Minister.
00:23:48Robertas, the leaders of
00:23:50Poland and three Baltic states have warned that Russia is
00:23:53considering a sabotage attack against their
00:23:56countries, as a way to shift the focus of the war
00:24:00and reduce support for Kyiv. One of the
00:24:03goals is for NATO to waver and reduce support
00:24:07for Ukraine, notes the Lithuanian
00:24:10Minister. Thank you very much. Meanwhile, the
00:24:13attacks are escalating on both sides.
00:24:17between Russia and Ukraine. We are seeing
00:24:20announcements again from the Ukrainian president. Volodymyr
00:24:23Zelensky announced that Ukrainian forces struck overnight
00:24:27two Russian oil refineries as Kyiv continues to hit
00:24:31Russia's war economy. The President of Ukraine also stated
00:24:35that his forces used
00:24:38drones to strike Russian military patrol
00:24:41vessels in the Black Sea as well as ships of Moscow's so-called shadow
00:24:45fleet. Three people were killed and 15 were injured
00:24:49in a new Ukrainian drone attack, Russian
00:24:53officials say. At the same time, Russian strikes in Ukraine
00:24:56continued in Kherson, Sumy, Odesa and Kramatorsk,
00:25:00causing the death of at least 11 and injuring dozens of civilians,
00:25:04according to Ukrainian authorities. Thank you
00:25:07very much. Now the war in Ukraine seems to have given birth, created
00:25:10a new kind of fraud in Russia. The so-called black
00:25:14widows marry soldiers just before they leave for
00:25:17the front with the aim of collecting the.
00:25:26have lost their lives at the front since the day of the
00:25:29invasion of Ukraine in February 2022,
00:25:33among them was 59-year-old Jury,
00:25:37Maria's father, his death brought
00:25:40to light a secret that shocked her, as
00:25:43it was revealed, he was married to a woman
00:25:4622 years younger.
00:26:02that has appeared in Russia during the war. Women
00:26:06marry soldiers just before they leave for
00:26:10the front, or even when they are spending their last
00:26:13moments in a hospital
00:26:15bed.
00:26:18The goal of these marriages is to receive state
00:26:21compensation in case their husband is killed in
00:26:24battle. The amount starts from
00:26:27€53,000.
00:27:02that they will receive more support and will have a
00:27:06greater incentive to fight.
00:27:09Back to our news, moments of agony unfolded during the night in Arta,
00:27:12when successive explosions at a PPC substation
00:27:15mobilized fire and police authorities and naturally
00:27:19disturbed the residents of the area. Christos Startoulakos has all the
00:27:22information.
00:27:25It was a hellish night, Christina, in Grammenitsa in Arta,
00:27:28when the first explosion was heard and occurred.
00:27:32in an area where there is a PPC substation,
00:27:36strong fire forces were immediately mobilized and responded to the scene,
00:27:40because you understand what an explosion at a PPC substation means, the
00:27:43fire quickly grew to large dimensions, other
00:27:47explosions were heard, when fire forces had arrived at the scene,
00:27:50more than five to six explosions were heard, according to information
00:27:54and it took several hours for
00:27:57firefighters to be able to contain the
00:28:00fire, the fire started at one in the morning. and we can say
00:28:03that it was brought under full control in the early morning hours, this resulted
00:28:07in many areas in Arta being plunged into darkness both in the
00:28:11city of Arta and in other surrounding areas, as well as in mountainous
00:28:14villages, with the DEDDIE crews
00:28:18working tirelessly to restore power, as under these
00:28:21conditions you understand how difficult the situation was for the
00:28:25residents in these areas. At this moment there is an investigation to see what
00:28:29caused the explosion at this specific location and
00:28:33which I should tell you threatened some
00:28:35residences near the PPC substation, the primary goal
00:28:39of the fire department was to ensure the houses next to it
00:28:43were not threatened, they succeeded and then they were able to contain this very large
00:28:47fire, as you can see in the footage provided by, indeed
00:28:50these images are incredible, thank you very much, a case that causes shock
00:28:54and the police are investigating, two men were arrested as they are accused
00:28:58of abandoning their accomplice, who was fatally injured.
00:29:02during an attempted theft of cables from a transformer by Giorgos
00:29:05Protopsaltis. In the area of Agios Stefanos on Friday, the
00:29:09incident resulted in the death of a 72-year-old man who
00:29:13was found a day later in the back seat of a car in the Ano
00:29:17Liosia area by a Civil Protection team. On Monday at noon,
00:29:20two men aged 68 and 72 voluntarily appeared before the authorities
00:29:24stating that they had gone with the victim as
00:29:28accomplices for cable theft. They claimed that the
00:29:3172-year-old was electrocuted and fell from a great
00:29:34height, stating at the same time that they
00:29:37placed him in the car and abandoned him. Now these
00:29:40things they mentioned that happened after the fall do not seem to have
00:29:44convinced the authorities, there were contradictions which will be investigated as part of the
00:29:48preliminary investigation, both have been arrested on charges of fatal exposure.
00:29:51Regarding the death of the 72-year-old, it is reported that his injuries are consistent
00:29:55with a fall, however, he is being examined by the medical examiner to provide
00:29:59new evidence if he had indeed suffered electrocution. the...
00:30:02Incredible case, thank you. The actions of the so-called Copper
00:30:06Mafia are taking on another and more violent characteristic. In the
00:30:10last chase in Thessaloniki, the perpetrators
00:30:13shot at police officers and caused a serious accident involving
00:30:16unsuspecting citizens. In fact, one of them spoke
00:30:19exclusively to Sky and his description is shocking. I experienced
00:30:23what I only saw in movies, he characteristically said. As
00:30:27you can see, it doesn't appear from anywhere, eh, there's nothing
00:30:30around to be inside.
00:30:32in Laka and tomorrow morning it might not be there again.
00:30:36Transformer thefts are unfortunately a daily phenomenon in the villages outside
00:30:40Thessaloniki.
00:30:43Almost every night, as seen in security camera footage, the
00:30:46perpetrators in stolen cars snatch DEDDIE's equipment
00:30:50to remove and funnel the copper it contains into smuggling.
