A brutal execution with characteristics reminiscent of a mafia hit took place on Thursday afternoon in Chalandri, at the intersection of Papankoli and Palaeologos Street, with the victim being Giorgos Moschouris, known to authorities for his alleged involvement with the so-called Greek Mafia.

Numerous shell casings were found at the scene of the execution, and shortly afterwards, a burned vehicle was discovered in the Patima Chalandri area. It is believed to be the getaway car used by the assailants.

The area remains cordoned off, and investigations to locate and apprehend the perpetrators are in full swing. The Hellenic Police is collecting footage from security cameras and witness statements to outline the escape route of the shooters.
