in

An unthinkable incident occurred on Monday morning (May 12, 2025), at Korydallos Prison, where an Albanian inmate threatened correctional staff with a knife. The violent Albanian prisoner managed to incapacitate two correctional officers, stealing their keys and disabling the phone communication system. Simultaneously, he attempted, along with a group of seven Egyptians, to move into another wing of the prison, allegedly intending to attack other inmates. Significant mobilization by the correctional staff led to their swift intervention; they located the group, disarmed them, and returned them to their cells. Authorities have been notified about the incident, and investigations are underway to determine the exact motives behind the Albanian inmate’s actions, who is considered one of the major figures within the prison hierarchy.
