The apologies of the eight arrested for the murderous attack against the 19-year-old in the Harilaou area of Thessaloniki begin. Three of them will pass through the door of the 7th regular interrogator investigating the case today, while the procedure will continue tomorrow (Thursday) and is expected to be completed on Friday. These are the eight who were arrested last Sunday, with warrants activated by the Security of Thessaloniki.
Last 24 hours, another person, who had been identified for involvement in the murder, was handed over to the prosecuting authorities and is expected to take his turn to answer before the same interrogator.
All of the above are being prosecuted for joint manslaughter with malice aforethought, both completed and attempted, in a serial manner. Among them are eight Greeks and one Albanian, aged 20 to 25.
The international warrant for the 20-year-old in Albania was issued
Only one person is now wanted, who allegedly fled abroad. He is a 20-year-old man, originally from Albania, and in his case an international arrest warrant was issued, which is in the hands of the Albanian authorities. Indeed, it is believed that a 20-year-old fled to the neighbouring country.
According to ERT, the arrival of the warrant was confirmed on Tuesday night by the country's ministry and the investigation process to locate and arrest him has already begun.
Indeed, investigations have started from the border crossings but there is currently no information, however it is estimated that it is difficult for the young man to have escaped alone in Albania and even from unguarded crossings as is usually the case.
It is recalled that the 23-year-old man who was the first arrest for the bloody attack of February 1 in Harilaou, where 19-year-old Alkis died and two of his friends were injured, has already been taken into custody.
New twist from the police officer's testimony
The police officer who participated in the operation to arrest the perpetrators of the murderous attack describes in his testimony what happened on the fateful night of 5 February.
He describes in detail what the arrested men claimed, the planning of the organized, as it seems, attack against fans of «Aris», Alkis and his friends.
According to thesstoday, it also refers to the role of the third vehicle that stopped on Gazi Street, in front of Aris' group. It was reported that the police are also looking for a 12th person.
In one of the arrested found a quantity of narcotic substance while questionable is the testimony of one of the perpetrators who claims that he did not attack Alkis with the scythe, giving another twist to the case.
The 25-year-old from Athens denies everything
The 25-year-old from Athens, who surrendered on Tuesday (08/02), was given a deadline to apologize on Friday, as he is accused of the murder of 19-year-old Alkis.
The 25-year-old, who was prosecuted, denies the charges against him, mainly that he carried out the homicide. As his lawyer said, he wanted to surrender to the authorities and is at their disposal.
According to Thesstoday, he is an organised PAOK fan, who fled to Athens a few days ago and is considered the leader of the group that attacked Alkis and his two friends in the early hours of last Tuesday at Harilaou.
The 20-year-old Albanian who has fled to his country and for whom an international warrant is issued, who is a friend of the 23-year-old first arrested and they had jointly engaged the authorities for the similar attack in 2019, also in the area of Harilaos in Thessaloniki, remains unapprehended.
