Beach bar in Halkidiki where bloody brawl took place sealed


The beach bar in Halkidiki where the incident took place shootout between Bulgarian visitorswas sealed on Monday.

Earlier on August 19, three Bulgarian citizens out of eight involved in the brawl were taken to the interrogation room in Poligyros following a shooting incident that took place at a beach bar in Hanioti, Chalkidiki.

A group of Bulgarians entered the bar after 11:30 pm on Friday, August 16th. After ordering, they began to get impatient, accusing the staff of being slow. The situation got out of hand when chairs and other objects that came to hand became arguments. The customers quickly retreated, and the showdown became increasingly heated. The group of Bulgarians began to loudly complain about the delay in ordering to the owner of a well-known beach bar, and chairs were used.

At this time, “reinforcements” of six more people arrived, immediately joining the fight. The violent showdown continues on the street – the Bulgarians brutally beat the owner of the store, their compatriot, who is already lying on the ground and practically does not react to the blows.

While investigating the incident, the police admit the possibility that this was a clash between members of the Bulgarian mafia, who came to resolve their differences with weapons.

Three of the five arrested are being treated under guard at Polygyros Hospital, one of them was shot in the chest and is in critical condition. The five men have been charged with violating the Weapons Act, fighting and causing dangerous bodily harm. Police found gloves, pepper spray and knives on the detainees.

The first five people arrested in connection with the bloody incident appeared before the prosecutor yesterday, Sunday. Of these, one was released, and the case of the remaining four was transferred to the hands of an investigating judge. They were also later released.

As for the three injured men, who remain in hospital for treatment, they were arrested on charges of fighting but released several hours later.

P.S. Beat the bartender half to death, shoot 2 people and… go free. I wonder how much they paid? And why did they close the bar? Will they really blame the bartender?
