Greek police services have undertaken large-scale actions to search for a Bulgarian citizen who was driving a vehicle with foreign registration during a serious road accident near Igoumenitsa. The incident occurred while transporting seven illegal immigrants, with the driver fleeing the scene.
According to official data, the car has Bulgarian registration, and its driver is currently being sought at all border checkpoints. The suspect faces serious charges related to human trafficking and leaving the scene of a road incident.
Simultaneously, another Bulgarian citizen has been detained in the Greek capital on charges of complicity in intentional murder. The arrested individual has made full confessions to local law enforcement regarding his role in the crime.
The criminal history involves the murder of a 43-year-old Polish citizen in Athens, with a Greek as the main perpetrator and the Bulgarian playing a supporting role. According to the investigation, the detained person was expecting a monetary reward of 50 thousand euros for his assistance in covering up the crime.
The Prosecutor's Office in Athens is set to bring formal charges against the Bulgarian citizen. Under Greek law, participation in intentional murder is punishable by the maximum sentence - life imprisonment.
The case attracts significant media interest and raises further questions about cross-border crime and interaction between law enforcement agencies of different countries.
The investigation continues, with both cases - the migrant accident and the murder - being the subject of in-depth investigation by Greek authorities.
