In the strange collaborations and complex business activities that were moving on border lines, as typically reported by police sources, they are mainly looking for the motive and the moral authors of the signature death contract against the 59-year-old businessman in Pen.

A recent dispute with an old partner arising from a financial issue, a loss of millions of euros, is being examined. In this case the victim appears to have been recently acquitted. However, one day before his murder, he appears to have come to blows with his adversary partner in a law office.

At the same time, there is unconfirmed information that the victim was possibly involved in cigarette smuggling involving a group from Elefsina. In fact, his opposing partner seems to have done something similar from an opposing team. However, this is unconfirmed information that the officers of the Western Attica Security are investigating.

The executioners of the 59-year-old businessman had set up a cartel for him. When they saw him going up the road leading to his house, only 200m from it, they surprised him and opened fire on him with Kalashnikovs.

He had left his business with a friend, each in a different car and they were a few meters apart. At a bend his friend lost him and a little later he saw the car on fire and next to it two people getting on a motorcycle and leaving at a fast speed.

The businessman was talking on the phone when he was murdered

At the same time, the victim was talking to another friend on the phone at the time of the murderous attack. In fact, he heard the 59-year-old say “they’re killing me, they’re shooting me” and then the connection was cut. His friend contacted the Immediate Action call center and reported who he was talking to and what exactly had happened and gave a direction in which to move the police forces.

The police are trying to find the path of the perpetrators’ motorcycle, to locate it on a security camera, they have removed phone privacy and are taking statements from the victim’s friends and family to find the motives of the brutal murder.

It is impressive that the perpetrators of the murder managed to set up the death ambush even though the 59-year-old was taking systematic security measures. A video document from the moment the first police officers arrived at the scene shows that there was confusion and panic.

The burnt car has been taken to the Forensic Laboratories. Inside it are the remains of the killer Kalashnikov, which the killers got rid of at the time of the fire.
