It is recalled that Giorgos Lygeridis died on December 7, 2023, when during a volleyball match between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos at the “Melina Mercouri” Indoor Gymnasium in Rentis, there were incidents between about 150 people and police forces. During the incidents, a naval flare was thrown, which seriously injured the policeman of the Sub-Directorate for Rehabilitation of Order, Giorgios Lygeridis, in his left thigh. The unfortunate policeman was transferred to the General State Hospital of Nice where he succumbed on December 27.
