Giorgos Lyggeridis: What does the Municipality of Piraeus answer about the employment of 4 “leaders” of the fan criminal organization

Four of the leading core of the total “8” of the criminal organization that organized and executed the murderous attack against the MAT in Rentis, last December, which resulted in the fatal wounding of the police officer Giorgos Lyggerides, had a working relationship with the Municipality of Piraeus.

As it appears from the police investigation and the filed case file, some of the leading members of the criminal organization – which currently has 160 members – had been hired relatively recently and were working in the Municipality of Piraeus – sometimes without providing real work, according to the communication of EL.AS. The 160 members of the organization have been accused of criminal acts with a sports background, at least since 2019, while the narrow core of the criminal organization consisted of 8 people, who also had a leadership role.

The mayor of Piraeus, Yannis Moraliswhen asked about it, he replied that “it is absolutely self-evident for everyone that no private enterprise, much more so no public or municipal authority can know how any employee behaves after leaving his job or service».

“To the clear insinuation against my person and the obvious attempt to connect me with any aspect of this case, my consistent and publicly known conduct provides the clearest answer. My path both in the past when I was actively involved in football for 20 years, as well as in the last ten years as the Mayor of Piraeus is absolutely crystal clear and widely known. A march to the light” stated Mr. Moralis

The entire statement of the mayor of Piraeus, Yiannis Moralis:

“It is obvious that this is a science fiction scenario, the circulation of which was attempted by some in exactly the same way a few months ago. And then and today equally unsuccessfully. I therefore clearly underline the following:

Fixed-term contract employees are hired in the municipalities based on the applicable law and the procedure prescribed by it. And in the cases mentioned in the publications, absolutely all the prescribed procedures were followed and despite the fact that it is known to the editors of the publications, it is deliberately ignored.

It is absolutely self-evident for everyone that no private company and much more no public or municipal authority can know how any employee behaves after leaving his job or service. That is, if he behaves legally or if he commits criminal acts.

To the plain insinuation against my person, and the evident attempt to connect me with any aspect of this affair, the clearest answer is furnished by my consistently observed and publicly known conduct. My path both in the past when I was actively involved in football for 20 years, as well as in the last ten years as the Mayor of Piraeus is absolutely crystal clear and widely known. A path to light.

Any attempt to link the persons judged by justice and their behavior to me has nothing to do with the truth and manifests willful expediency.”
