Documentary video about a gang that blew up ATMs


Documentary video footage of a gang stealing from ATMs has appeared online. As can be seen in the footage, the gang members wore white uniforms with hoods to avoid leaving traces behind them, and then set fire to the cars they were using.

Let us remind you that among those arrested is the 28-year-old famous rapper “Don Leon”, who was arrested in 2021 for a similar crime. The singer was sent to prison, served a year and a half and was released from prison in January last year.

Among those arrested is a famous rapper who previously served 1.5 years (!?) for robbing ATMs. The term that the criminal received is noteworthy, because 18 months is a punishment for ordinary hooliganism, but certainly not for bank robbers.

The rapper did not hesitate to post a video on social networks near an ATM, writing: “This is a restricted area for me.”

A 26-year-old and 27-year-old gang member were also arrested in this case. To arrive at the crime scene and escape, they used “operational” cars with powerful engines that were stolen from nearby areas. By setting off an explosion or cutting off the locks with a grinder, they gained access to the cash drawers, from which they removed all the money, which took them less than 1 minute.

The criminals laundered money through gambling casinos, as well as through the rap music industry. What seems surprising to the police is the fact that an American M16 assault rifle was found, and not the usual Kalashnikov assault rifle, which most bandits in the countries are armed with EUwhich has not been reported stolen in Greece or Europe.

Greek journalists have already suggested that the leak of American military weapons occurred from Ukraine, where, according to international media reports, smugglers are actively operating, “exporting” military weapons. Those arrested will be brought before the investigating judge on Wednesday to testify.
