The identity of the perpetrator, as it turned out, is contained in the database of the security service.

A case has been opened against him, but he was at large, as was the detainee after the murder 23 year old Albanian.

Alexis Kougias, lawyer for Alkis Campanos’ family, tells LiveSport:

“Personally, I am afraid that the rest have already fled to Albania, and are looking for them in Greece. This will be seen in the next two days. I will be in Veria on Sunday morning to speak with the Alkis family, and on Tuesday in Thessaloniki, the day after the accused’s apology, to collect the case file. As long as we don’t know anything, we are blind without it.”

The lawyer is concerned that the other participants in the attack have not yet been arrested:

I am concerned that the arrest of others involved in the attack is being delayed. We’re talking about Thessaloniki, not New York. This is a city where everyone knows everyone. Especially after this place was found, and what was found on it. Yesterday I received news that shocked me. They sent me a photo with the alleged killer of Alkis. Next to him is the son of a senior officer of the department for combating sports violence in Thessaloniki. I will bring this photo to the attention of the authorities.
