The anonymous cell phones used by the two arrested during the during the murder of Giorgos Karaivaz they “talked”. Both because of the origin, from a specific store, and with the sequence of the calls. The two arrested will apologize to the investigator on Wednesday.

According to SKAI reporter Panagiotis Spyropoulos, the two operational “Pakistani” mobile phones of the perpetrators were named in the data of a 30-year-old man from Bangladesh. They are activated for the first time on April 5, 2021, marked by Harokopou Kallithea and some communications between them follow. THE first on April 8, 2021, i.e. a day before the murder because the unfortunate journalist seems to have been delayed and in some other version he was with his wife. They seem to be talking to each other, with several calls, for almost two hours, from 13:25 to 15:21 where their plan seems to have been postponed. They had set up an ambush for him, because he has a specific route that they knew exactly, but Carivaz was half an hour late. On the day of the murder, April 9, 2021, they appear to be talking to each other, with several calls, for almost an hour from 12.30 to 1.21 p.m. It is possible that one of the speakers was in the van, while the other was on the scooter. The two phones were purchased on April 2, 2021, while on April 5, some SIMs were purchased from the same store on Panormou Street. It is noted that the SIMs purchased from this particular store seem to have been found in a house search in 2015 in a case in which the 54-year-old, as well as the so-called “busher”, had been accused. The shopkeeper says he has known the 54-year-old since 2009.

As far as their personal mobile phones are concerned, it is significant that the 48-year-old’s is switched off on both April 8 and 9, 2021 when the business phones were on so that their mark is not detected.

“unwinding”

At the same time, the most imaginative excuses were invoked by the owner of the shop that supplied the anonymous mobile phones to the perpetrators of the journalist’s murder to justify his relationship with them.

The owner of the store on Panormou Street, from which the perpetrators allegedly obtained the operational “Pakistani” mobile phones with which they talked on the day of the execution. As it was established, he had previously communicated with two of the persons included in the case file. When asked about her relationship with the 54-year-old van driver, she reportedly told officers: “We had formal relations (with the 54-year-old). I used to send him messages to get rid of him.”

“Getting to the motivation”

The authorities are trying to ascertain the role of the two arrested in the death contract against the journalist Giorgos Karaivaz.

The officers of the Homicide Department are looking for the person who pulled the trigger, the motives of the murder, but also the moral author, who gave the order.

“The motivation, for what reason, someone would like George Karaivaz not to be alive. If we reach it, then it is certain that we will also approach the one who gave the order. The issue is whether there were one or two of these persons,” the president of the Police Officers of N/A Attica, Giorgos Kalliakmanis, noted to SKAI.
In addition to the 40-year-old bodybuilder and his 48-year-old brother, who is connected to the support van that accompanied the executioners on the day of the murder, the case file for the murder of Giorgos Karaivaz includes 3 more persons.

Among them is the 53-year-old called “Thamnakias”, “Big” or “Crazy”, who is incarcerated in prisons with many years in prison, the 54-year-old alleged driver of the van and the 50-year-old assistant. This is a person who has not been charged in the past, who holds a legal license to carry a firearm.

“In some of his writings, in my opinion, someone has seen his “photograph” behind George’s words. He was afraid, he panicked lest he speak to the prosecuting authorities and killed him,” estimated Giorgos Karaivaz’s wife Statha Alexandropoulos.

The course of the van

More than 300 videos from security cameras have captured the van and the scooter of the attackers in different placesboth on the day of the murder, and the previous afternoon during the attempt.

As for the business van of the 48-year-old arrested, its image has been captured for the first time at 13:25 noon on April 8 in Alimos. The vehicle is not recorded again until 15:30, when it reappears on Poseidon Avenue. 40 minutes later, the 48-year-old’s cell phone activates in the area where the cleaning company’s offices are located.

On the day of the execution, the van is captured at 12:44 noon on Petrou Ralli in Aegaleo and 13 minutes later in the Alimos area. For 26 minutes there is no recorded image and the vehicle appears again 23 minutes after 2 after the murderous attack has been completed. After returning to Nice via Petrou Ralli, at 3:34 p.m. the 48-year-old calls from his cell phone, which until then had been inactive.

According to the evidence of the case file, during the period of approximately 3 hours during which the image of the scooter and the van near the scene of the murder has been recorded, the two operational “Pakistani” mobile phones of the perpetrators are active and communicate exclusively with each other. At the exact same time, the phones of the arrested are lying idle in a different place.
