Turkish Man Arrested Over Gang-Related Double Murder in Glyfada

A Turkish man has been arrested by police in connection with a gang-related double murder that took place in Glyfada in December 2024. The suspect was apprehended on Friday, June 6, 2025, allegedly while driving the vehicle used by perpetrators to flee after the crime. According to reports, he had previously been detained three months ago on drug charges. Although no severe charges were filed against him at the time, authorities held him for deportation due to lack of proper documentation. Further investigation revealed evidence linking him to the getaway car. It is worth noting that the victims reportedly belonged to the ‘Bayagalar’ gang, while the perpetrators are believed to be from a rival group. These gangs have been clashing over control of drug, weapon, and migrant trafficking operations in Turkey. A video documentary published by newsit.gr shows the brutal nature of these conflicts as Turkish criminals chase each other mercilessly through the streets of Glyfada, causing panic among civilians.
