Apocalyptic hooligan dialogue about burnt gloves
After the murderous attack on the hapless police officer in Renti panic ensued. About 400 people were transferred to GADA to give fingerprints and DNA and when when they were released they started talking to each other about what happened before. Among these people were those who had reached the toilets trying to burn clothes, gloves, hats and whatever they had on them to eliminate evidence that could betray DNA and fingerprints.
One of them, who threw away and burned his gloves, contacted a friend the next day and described to him what had happened on the field and of course the controversial discussion was what had happened to the gloves he had burned.
The dialogue between them:
- They burned. They burned very well but I give a 30% so what can I tell you… And even so I didn’t go out, okay mate?
- Ah yes, ok A. They took them from me, I’ll say. I will blame the westerners there.
The activity of the criminal organization
The case file referring to the criminal organization has nothing to envy organized crime and the mafia, said the Mina Karamitrou in its main bulletin OPEN.
According to the case file, it is a completely hierarchical structure criminal organization. An organization that had senior and junior members as well as the strike teams. The grassroots members were obliged to submit to the wishes of the organization’s leaders. In fact, according to the descriptions of the police: “The operation of the criminal organization is operationally structured with an internal structure and a clear hierarchical structure, in the sense that its members have defined roles. The younger or lower members submit their will to the senior members and together they shape the will of the organization.”
What was going on with the strike teams
According to Mina Karamitrou it is an “industry of violence” or it consisted of people who traveled around Greece and depending on the orders they received, they made incidents in Bulletat Larissaat Yannenain Athena.
“The structure of it criminal organization it includes the leading members whom the junior and junior members call “elders” and who submit completely to their will and orders. And the so-called “minors”, i.e. younger people usually 16 to 24 years old, who are junior members, are used by the leadership group mainly as a strike force to achieve numerical superiority when carrying out the attacks” they emphasize police officers sources.
