Halkidiki: The 58-year-old traded rotten machinery with his 76-year-old amusement park owner in Almyros

There is no end to the revelations – “fire” around the tragedy in Pefkohori, where 19-year-old Giannis was killed instantly. The 58-year-old owner of the amusement park, where young Giannis died tragically, when he was hurled from the game crazy dance in Pefkohori in Halkidiki, reportedly had not received a certificate of operation of his business, while photographs of documents that came to light record his machines rusted and broken. In fact, the latest information says that the 58-year-old had a professional relationship in the past with the 76-year-old amusement park owner where Almyros in 2019 tragically died 14-year-old Serina. As the Open broadcast on Saturday (24.08.24), the two tragedies at the amusement parks in Halkidiki and Almyros have a common point: the fact that the 58-year-old partner had the 76-year-old owner of the amusement park, where little Serena was killed in Almyros in 2019. According to the open, 58-year-old and 76-year-old “Queen of the amusement parks”, as they called it, traded machines, the saean machines from which both 19-year-old John and 14-year-old Serina ejected and died. In 2019 the 14-year-old was hurled at a distance of 11 metres from a amusement park game, with her death equally instantaneous. “Hunting” and courts with the municipality of Thermaikos and ELAS The owner of the amusement park in Halkidiki had spread his “nets” in Thessaloniki, bringing games to the Christmas village of the municipality of Thermaikos as Thestoday.gr reveals. According to what has become known, while the company signed a 60-day lease agreement with the municipality, it needed a “hunt” with police, self-government and then a court dispute with the municipality, until it finally left two and a half months later! This is a case, which began on 15 December 2021 when the municipality of Thermaikos signed a 60-day lease agreement to install an ice rink and amusement park machinery on a municipal plot in Perea. In fact, although on paper this company was in the name of his wife, the 58-year-old seems to have been the one who took over her management and appeared to be responsible for the municipality. As Thestoday.gr reports although the lease term expired on 12 February 2022, the 58-year-old not only did not leave—as foreseen by the agreement and despite repeated recommendations from the municipal authority from the first moment—but operated arbitrarily until Easter that year. He was getting his power down, and he was pulling up a generator. Despite pressure from the municipality, the operation remained there although a contract had expired. The municipality requested the assistance of the Greek Police for the removal of the amusement park, but which was epic: On the one hand the local government was downloading the power switches to interrupt the power supply and on the other hand the 58-year-old was arbitrarily lifting them, continuing its normal operation. Even when representatives of the municipality brought an electrician to cut the wires, the 58 – year – old enlisted his own generator on the plot to operate the games! The next move by the municipality of Thermaikos was to follow the judicial route to ensure Luna Park’s departure from the plot. As can be seen from the minutes that have been posted in the program “Success”, he appointed a bailiff to serve administrative expulsion to the company. At the same time, the authorities proceeded to certify a fine for occupying a public space of EUR 2,500 and for the arbitrary reconnection of electricity which is expected to be tried in September.
