On Saturday, most of the 67 arrested, for the case of the murderous attack against the policeman, will be pardoned George Lyggeridislast December at Renti.
Specifically, criminal charges were brought against those arrested as well as those included in the arrest warrant and wanted, for at least 12 felonies and numerous misdemeanors, while five people are attributed a leading role.
In order to get to the core of the hooligans, the authorities implemented the large operation of EL.AS under the code name “Swords of Damocles”.
The case file exceeds 6,000 pages, while EL.AS “shows” five people for moral complicity in the murderous attack of the young policeman.
Deposits “fire” for the leading members
According to the ERT report, a total of 310 people had given statements to the Sub-Directorate for Combating Violence in Sports Venues, however the additional statements from people who had been at the Melina Merkouri stadium proved to be “key” in the case.
Some fans provided valuable information about how the organized fans were organized, and also the names of known organized fans who were at the stadium.
The three people, who were the ones who reported which of them they saw participating in the incidents around the stadium, were immediately placed under “witness protection” status.
This was done as the defendants could proceed with acts of revenge and intimidation against them.
Then came the removal of communications with the antenna scan process for both the Rentis case and other cases.
The 28 pieces of evidence from the site of the attacks, i.e. naval flares, hand flares, flare launchers, A.E.M. remnants. et al., were also important elements for the development of the research.
And the same fans, in communication with each other, admit that based on the weapons that the perpetrators had at their disposal, their purpose was to kill a police officer.
In fact, after “achieving their goal” they posted a photo on Instagram that shows their satisfaction with the happy result for them.
According to information, the arrested persons were also found to have participated in the murderous attack of last December through DNA and laboratory tests.
Their genetic material was even detected in the clothes that some of the natural perpetrators had tried to burn, in the toilets of the “Melina Merkouri” stadium where they found refuge.
Finally, during the searches in the homes of those involved, shirts and other items with the insignia of the group they support, but also of other groups were found which were “spoils of war” for them.
