As key organizer of the attacks against the police forces is said to be a 40-year-old, known as Joseph or “short”, head of the organized gate. In fact, the attack on the closed Melina Merkouris gym in Rentis was apparently a planned retaliation for what had happened in Volos 3 days before. They said characteristically “let’s go clean them”, “finish them”. This was the slogan that the leader was saying, meaning the policemen, who would be in Rentis.
According to the report, Mr “Short” at the time of his arrest on Sunday night in a cafe in Ioannina, he had 5,000 euros and 4 mobile phones in his pockets, with the police speculating that he would seek to escape abroad.

The second protagonist is the 27-year-old Omle, manager of a well-known trapper, noted leader of the association in Ilion. He was a defendant in at least 4 court cases. He is the one who relayed the attack orders and brought in reinforcements. In fact, he was also one of the “key holders” of the warehouse from which he allegedly transported weapons and naval flares, and he is said to have been the one who gave the fatal flare to the 18-year-old who confessed to hitting the unfortunate police officer.
The “Romanian”, “Shark” and “Kokos”
There is also a 36-year-old with the nickname “Romanian”. In fact, he was among those arrested in the fight that happened in April at the Karaiskakis stadium in the context of an internal dispute between Olympiacos fans.
