Thessaloniki: Free cop who was dealing with “pitaki” and “spanakopakia”

Free without restrictive conditions after the conclusion of the apology of the interviewer, he was released for arrest for a case in Thessaloniki. On the charge of drug trafficking, a 40-year-old and 70-year-old cop were arrested, while the case-file included another person. The 41-year-old police officer was arrested on Friday (22.03.2024), following an operation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of EL.A. in the area of Dendropotamos . There had been prior complaints against him , while since the lifting of the telephone confidentiality suspected communications with the 40-year-old, supplies of small quantities of drugs, while the two men seem to have used code names referring to drugs, such as “pitters” and “spanakopits”. During the case-file, the deputy sergeant reportedly accompanied the 40-year-old to Dendropotamos, where the second one was supplied by the 70-year-old a micropack of 0.36 grams of cocaine. In his apology, the policeman allegedly claimed that with the 40-year-old they’ve known each other since childhood and that he was escorting him to get his co-conspirator. He refused to use, unlike the 40-year-old who admitted to being dependent, while 70-year-old said years of drug abuse, talking about trafficking among addicts. Prosecutor and interrogator reserved the same criminal treatment to the other two defendants by leaving them free (the elderly on a restrictive condition).
