One night in July 2000, a young technical college student, aged 22, rode home on his vespa from Elefsina to his Piraeus home at Nikaia when a stray bullet from a G3-A3 was fired out of the military camp of Stefanaki, Schisto Avenue, Skaramanga. The bullet, fired from the gun of the artillery sergeant major of the 180th squadron (HAWK) who was carrying out the duties of camp services officer.

Charged with homicide, the student’s killer, aged 33, was sentenced to 13 years for homicide with intent.
The family of the deceased called for compensation worth 1,399,920 euros (699,960 euros per parent) and 799,920 for the siblings (399,960 euros each) bearing in mind the bond that they held with the deceased, the economic difficulty of the family that was intricately tied with the ability of each members ability to contribute. Instead, the military court released 300,000 euros for each of the parents and 100,000 euros for each of the siblings for a total of 800,000 euros plus legal interest rates.
The state, however, maintained that the compensation is too high bearing in mind the economic situation of the country and ability of the state to meet the demands and is asking for an adjustment.
