A new cycle of investigations into the abduction and murder of Marios Papageorgiou opens. Prosecutions for direct complicity in the murder and kidnapping of 8 people.

The human bones found in a cave in Dervenohoria possibly put an end to the thriller of the search for the body of Marios Papageorgiou, who was kidnapped and murdered in August 2012, when he left Diakopto Achaia, where he was on vacation with his mother, to drive his car to Paleo Faliro.

The findings were located by a speleological team in an area where the prosecuting authorities had identified the presence of the kidnappers. “Key” to the question of whether the bones belong to Mario, it is DNA identification. According to secure information from “P”, if it is not possible through this method then it is not excluded that they will be sent for examination to the University of Athens.

“We are waiting for the identification, it is an area where the perpetrators really moved and there are certainly possibilities that the bones belong to Marios,” said the family’s lawyer, Nikos Roussopoulos, to the “Peloponnisos” newspaper.

However, for the case that shocked Panhellenium, according to exclusive information from “P”, a new cycle of research opens, after bringing criminal charges against a total of 8 people for direct complicity in homicide and kidnapping. They are an active police officer and a retired police officer, the sons of a 72-year-old family friend sentenced to life imprisonment and the “mastermind” of the kidnapping and murder, two persons who were called by the Court as witnesses, as it was found that they had telephone communications with the old man, and four more people who allegedly had a peripheral role in the case also having contacts with the 72-year-old. According to information, five of the eight had an active role in the kidnapping and murder of the 26-year-old. The case file has already been assigned to a regular investigator.
