A shocking murder case has unfolded in Agia Paraskevi, where a man was found dead on Saturday afternoon (5.7.2025). Authorities are reportedly close to identifying the victim, who is described as being around 40 years old, short-haired, well-built, and without tattoos. Witnesses claim he used a Russian-made pistol—possibly a Tokarev or Makarov model.
The investigation remains ongoing, as the victim has not yet been officially identified. There is no record of him in police files related to extortion, narcotics, or homicide units. No identification documents such as an ID card, passport, or other paperwork were found on him—only a set of keys that investigators have yet to determine the purpose of.
Furthermore, the fact that nobody in the area recognized him suggests that Agia Paraskevi was not his place of residence. Police are currently exploring two main theories: one being an internal ‘settlement’ within the Greek mafia, and the other involving possible involvement from Turkish mafia groups.
The lack of identity details has raised concerns among law enforcement officials. They speculate that the man may have operated abroad before coming to Greece, only to be intercepted before carrying out his plans—or alternatively, that he could be a member of the Turkish mafia with no prior criminal history in Greece, making him unknown to local authorities.
