Blatant omissions and unwarranted failures at almost all levels of the Police leadership are highlighted the revelations that are coming to light about the five critical hours before the tragedy in New Philadelphia.

Especially since the Croatian hooligans entered Attica, the sequence of errors takes on extreme proportions.

Neo-Nazi killers have been crisscrossing the country from one end to the other and a total of 23 police agencies are being tipped off.

For a while it appeared that, even 400 kilometers after entering the country, some tried to stop them.

There were forces available and an order was given to set up a roadblock at six in the afternoon at the Eleusis toll road.

While the convoy with at least 20 cars is approaching, the incredible order comes from GADA for the forces to leave.

The information says that at a quarter past eight, a senior officer of GADA gave the relevant order and said that only the machine of Combating Sports Violence should remain.

It was probably estimated that the danger had disappeared from its passage and thus there was no order to control the open field of the Eleusis tolls.

However, who gave the removal order and in particular if it was given by mobile phone or via transmission has not yet been clarified and is the subject of an internal and criminal investigation.

While by order of GADA the road is open for the murderers, in Zevgolatio at a quarter past nine Olympia Odos informs the traffic police about the convoy and they in turn send a signal to GADA.

But there was no response to the signal.

Obviously what followed was not imagined and so instead of mobilizing there was an order to simply follow the convoy even when finally at ten in the evening the traffic police saw them gathering after the toll in Eleusis.

On Attiki Street, the policeman with the motorcycle announced that he had lost the convoy.

Night had already fallen and while he followed them after the toll booth they split into two groups and he lost them among the other cars.

GADA, however, was quiet, she assumed that they were tired from the road and were going to sleep.

After all, that’s what the report that had been made said.

Somehow, the more than one hundred neo-Nazis came out to Kymis at 10:24 and then went to Irini, took the bats from their accomplices and took the train.

Indeed, during that period of time, the Authorities received a warning from a citizen who saw the convoy stopping in the area.

The station master did the obvious thing, raised the alarm and while ten DIAS and DRASI policemen rushed to Perissos, the order from GADA concerned discreet monitoring.

In any case, the “operational mess” seems to have started from the tolls of Elefsina and in particular from the information-transmission of information from service to service and culminated in the absence of initiatives from senior and top officers of GADA.

In particular, no one initially took responsibility for ordering the movement of forces to locate the fascist hooligan pack and to break up and prevent the murderous melee that ensued.
