Position was taken by Theodoros Karipidis for the accusations attributed to him about threats to the government official, Nico Tahiao, categorically denying that there was such an event!
The beginning in this particular case was made when the powerful man of Mars contacted him Nico Tahiao so as to inform him about the disorderly situation that exists in the ranks of the fans after the punishment of the team by the DEAB.
Afterwards, and while the decision of the DEAB was overturned and the people of Aris will normally attend the stadium against AEK, Tachiaos said that “A major PAE producer of Thessaloniki told me that fans will break everything before the opening of the Metro“, without naming Karipides, with “Diki” being the one who revealed that it was the president of the “yellows.
This was followed by the announcement of Olympiakos which launched a fierce attack on Karipides, to which PAE Aris responded, until the official position of the strong man of the “yellow” PAE came.
The statement of Theodoros Karypides on the official website of PAE Aris in detail:
“Since there is an extensive report by the media about my alleged threats to a government official for the use of fan violence, specifically by ARIS fans, I want to completely deny that there was such an event on my part.
I never made any threats to a government official, but I simply informed him of possible dangers and incidents from ARIS fans, due to the unfair imposition of an administrative sanction against the football team by the Permanent Committee for Combating Violence (DEAB) and specifically of holding two sports meetings of ARIS as host without the presence of spectators in any event in which it participates.
My briefing was of a purely deterrent character for possible risks and not threatening and in fact in a top event for the city of Thessaloniki, which is the start of the metro operation.
PAE ARIS and I personally respect the legality and I do not tolerate at all being defiled, especially by football players who took the lead in fan violence and tarnish the sports spirit in every way, violating the rules of our Rule of Law.
Factors, which even to this day concern justice for their involvement in criminal organizations and murders and heaps of other criminal acts. And that in their stadium a banner was recently posted about… “rigged criminal cases”, making their “army” curse the Prime Minister in a dance.
As for those who question my identity, I refer them to the Police Directorate of Thessaloniki, but also to the Sub-Directorate of Sports Violence for my presence in the events of PAE ARIS in the last decade.
There must finally be an end to the instigators of my slander and Justice will soon have their say against them».
