New Perama: ‘Tiger Kidnapping’ Gone Wrong in 27-Year-Old’s Murder Case

The murder of a 27-year-old entrepreneur in New Perama has escalated into a high-stakes thriller, as authorities investigate a botched ‘tiger kidnapping’—a short-term abduction for extortion. Forensic examination revealed ten gunshot wounds, all to the victim’s back and head, including two fatal shots to the heart and a likely execution-style shot to the head. Burns on his body suggest an attempt to destroy evidence. Though the victim had no prior police record, investigators suspect he was abducted near his partner’s home in Eleusis by four armed men in a stolen car with Thessaloniki plates. Security footage shows him walking calmly minutes before the abduction. Greek FBI (ELAS) has taken over the case, focusing on possible professional or personal motives—including undisclosed transactions or conflicts—as well as whether he identified his captors, triggering the fatal escalation.
