Supreme Court Prosecutor orders immediate investigation into organized crime activities

Supreme Court Prosecutor Georgia Adeilini issued an order on Wednesday for the immediate investigation of cases involving criminal organizations, money laundering, murder and other serious crimes related to mafia networks in Mykonos, other Cyclades islands, as well as in Athens and Thessaloniki. Specifically, Adeilini instructed the prosecutor leading the police investigation into organized crime to immediately investigate these serious criminal activities, especially in Mykonos.

This initiative follows the recent cold-blooded murder of Panagiotis Stathis, a civil engineer who worked on the island, in the northern Athens suburb of Neo Psychiko.

In order to thoroughly investigate these crimes, Adeilini ordered the use of all necessary means, including the collection of telephone and other confidential information (such as bank and tax records). She also demanded to be kept informed of the progress of the investigation.
