In the hands of ELAS, two very well-known people in the local community who were blackmailing the Vice-Regional Governor of Ilia – How were they arrested and what sums were they asking for
Two well-known people in the society of Ilia have been in the hands of the Police since Friday night, who – according to the complaint that had been made – were blackmailing the Deputy Governor of Ilia, Nikos Korovesis.
According to the report, the two persons were arrested by the experienced officers of the Security Directorate of Pyrgos after an operation that was set up in the afternoon, in Amaliada.
The two blackmailers had an appointment with the deputy governor’s lawyer at his office in Amaliada in order to receive the amount of 13 thousand euros they had requested in order to stop blackmailing him for some digital material they had at their disposal.
As it happened. The two people went to the appointment and the lawyer handed them the money which was pre-marked and so the police “wrangled” them.
The… torture for Nikos Korovesis had started since May 2023, when both people – one a lawyer – threatened the deputy governor for the material in question and extorted money from him. In fact, until today he had given them a total of 21 thousand euros in two installments of 18,000 and 3,000 euros.
patrisnews contacted Mr. Korovesi who stated that “…all this torture that I have been living since May 2023, has come to an end. Now I feel relieved.”
The two people who were arrested were taken to the DA Ilias where they are being held, while the involvement of others is also being examined.
