The Internal Affairs Service of the Security Forces proceeded to dismantle a criminal organization, whose members were active in the sale-trafficking of narcotic substances, mainly cocaine and cannabis, in various regions of Attica.

Three members of the organization, including a police officer, were arrested for the case, while a case file was filed against them for – in the case of a criminal organization, breach of duty, as well as for violation of the laws on drugs, weapons, amateur professional sports and flares and fireworks.

In addition, the file filed includes one more person, who is accused of violating drug laws.

In particular, according to the Police, after using information it emerged that the defendants had formed a criminal group at least since the end of May 2023 and were active in the trafficking of narcotics in areas of Attica, with the aim of illegal financial gain.

As emerged from the investigation and from the pre-investigative material, the members of the organization acted with distinct roles, namely:

-The two members of the organization, including the policeman, jointly procured the narcotics and stored them in the policeman’s house,

-The third member, after selling the quantities assigned to him, handed over the amount of money he obtained to the other two members, who then “reinvested” the money for the supply of a new and larger quantity of cocaine, while

-Selling to potential customers, who were people from their friendly environment, was undertaken by all three members.

Characteristic of the secrecy with which they operated are also the coded words they used for narcotics so that the content of their conversations could not be perceived.

In order to deconstruct the criminal organization, an operation was carried out on Thursday, September 21, 2023, during which the police officer was initially arrested near his home, where five 5 unbalanced nylon packages containing cocaine with a total weight of 3 grams and a mobile phone were found in his possession.
