The ex-wife of the Polish university professor is accused of being the mastermind behind his cold-blooded murder, which occurred ten days ago in Agia Paraskevi. The woman, with whom the Berkeley professor had two children, allegedly convinced her current partner to kill the 43-year-old Pole.

According to available information, the woman initially pressured her current partner to find paid individuals to assault her ex-husband. Indeed, she allegedly located three individuals—two Albanians and one Bulgarian—who have now been arrested. These individuals, based on current evidence, transported the perpetrator to the crime scene and provided him with the weapon—a Tokarev pistol—that was emptied into the professor’s body.

The woman’s current partner has been arrested on the charge of being the masked man who shot the 43-year-old father five times, while the three foreign nationals are accused of being accomplices. In addition to a custody dispute over the children, the professor also had significant financial disagreements with his ex-wife.

The investigation into the case—which brings to mind the infamous murder of police officer Christos Kolitsopoulos in the 1980s, where the moral instigator was his wife Katia and the actual perpetrator was her lover—is ongoing.
