With a large operation since the early hours of Monday, which has not yet ended, the Police is trying to dismantle the ring of hooligans allegedly related to the murder of the police officer Giorgos Lyggeridis. According to information, so far, 64 people have been arrested, while the case file, with many charges and the common charge of forming a criminal organization, will be submitted on Tuesday (23/4) to the Prosecutor.
To 5 people, who are said to be leaders in the organization, it seems that the charge of moral authorship of the murder of Giorgos Lyggeridis will be attributed.
The other arrested are said to be involved in the bloody incidents at Rentis, but also in other incidents of fan fights. At least from 2019 until today, they allegedly operated not only in Attica but also in the province, such as Volos and Ioannina.
The Police speak of a total of 158 people, the 158 people included in the voluminous case file numbering up to 5000 pages.

Of the more than 64 people who have been arrested, the experienced Attica security officers have identified many of them in 11-12 cases of fan violence. However, the “very tough core of hooligans”, the leading core, amounts to about 20 people.
The members of this criminal organization acted with a different composition each time. According to a report by ERT, the police officers dealing with violence in the sports arenas have succeeded in the secret investigation for four months to “bind” the charge of the criminal organization, through important findings mainly from the scene of the murder of the MAT police officer.
The videos, photographs and witness statements “gave” key evidence, while the forensic laboratories also “talked” to various munitions that had been identified outside the “Melina Merkouri” stadium and had been taken to the forensic laboratories, as well as from the toilets of the stadium where they had set fire to clothes to cover their tracks.

Typical case, as reported by a competent source of EL.AS. with knowledge of the investigations, it is the gathering that some of the members had held at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium, before the match at the Melina Merkouris stadium and the murderous attack against Giorgos Lyggeridis. There, they loaded munitions into vehicles and took them “in procession” to Melina Merkouri Stadium, entering it normally.
The alleged leaders at one point gave the signal saying “let’s go out now and finish them off, clean them up”. Then they distributed the munitions such as bottles, flares and others, resulting in the killing of the policeman.
The arrested are expected to be brought before the prosecutor tomorrow, Tuesday.
