Judging by the identity of the victim, it is about attempts to redistribute the Afghan heroin market. Literally three days earlier, four Greek citizens shot and killed a native of Pakistan in the neighboring district of Athens, Kato Patissia. According to police, the defendants together attacked the man to rob him, and the 20-year-old Greek fatally stabbed him in the chest. The arrested persons with the materials of the case formed against them were delivered to the competent body of the prosecutor’s office.
