Police ‘dust off’ cameras to determine who fired naval flare


Police are closely reviewing cameras for any movement that could lead to action related to the attack on the 31-year-old police officer.

Authorities are “dusting off” the cameras around Renty Stadium, where tragic events took place with a police officer seriously injured. He remains in critical condition at the Nicaea General State Hospital. He remains in the intensive care unit with diffuse bleeding in his thigh.

Authorities are “reviewing” cameras around Renty Stadium in the belief that they will be able to identify those who will lead them to the gunman who fired a naval missile at a police officer, seriously wounding him in the thigh. At the same time, an important find is under the microscope of the authorities. The remains of a rocket found near the stadium have been sent to crime labs, and in the stadium toilet, according to a spokesman ELAS Konstantin Demoglidou, a knife was found. According to her, there are no cameras inside the stadium, and recordings from surveillance cameras outside are being studied. “What happened at Renty was a pure murderous attack, nothing happened inside the stadium.”

She noted that some of the more than 500 people taken to prison “they refused to give fingerprints, DNA, or did not allow us to take a sample of gunpowder from our hands”and emphasized that “Some evidence was also found inside the stadium, such as remnants of clothing and full-face hoods, as “some tried to burn clothes in the toilets.”

A policeman is fighting for his life

Meanwhile, on Saturday morning (09.12.23) the latest medical report was published, which states that the wounded policeman’s health is critical:

“According to the latest data from the attending physicians, the patient remains in critical condition, hospitalized in the intensive care unit under anesthesia and mechanical ventilation, and is supported hemodynamically with gradually decreasing doses of vasoconstrictor drugs. Due to bleeding disorders, diffuse bleeding is observed in the thigh wound, which is adequately controlled with local hemostatic agents and dressings. Subcutaneous thermal burn of the thigh and around the wound”.

“Stop lying, it’s time to make tough decisions”

All eyes are on the measures that the government will announce on Monday 12/11/23. Earlier on Saturday at a meeting at the Maximu mansion a meeting was held led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in which the commander of the National Security Service, Themistocles Demiris, participated. Measures to overcome the wave of violence from fans were on the government’s agenda. Government circles say that at the meeting statements like “The lies are over, and the time has come for tough decisions.” “Mitsotakis has decided, society says “no more”“.

According to the same information, at a two-hour meeting in Maximos, the agenda included the reversal of the decision of last August regarding the presence of ELAS at the gates of organized fans, which was also requested by police officers. If this decision is made, the security of sporting events will only concern PAEs and BCs, based on the sports law on cameras and personalized tickets. In addition, the meeting discussed the issue of suspending all championships and sporting events for an indefinite period.
