Coverage of shooting outside a bar in Piraeus between rival “protection” groups

Unknown episode in the battle for increasing influence between rival groups - In the racketeering case

Newsroom November 11 08:12

The shooting incident outside a center in Piraeus a few days ago is seen as an episode in the ongoing war for the prevalence and increasing zones of influence of groups selling “protection” in nightclubs.

Photos capture the incident frame by frame and the moment the gunmen shoot outside the store.

At the beginning of the video, a group of people are recorded arriving outside the store. In front is seen a tall, very heavily built man, who, according to information so far, is from Albania and is said to be part of the group of a certain person who aims to expand his dominance in the area where the store is located.

Seconds later, another man appears, wearing black clothing and with a shaved head. This is a person known to law enforcement and is reportedly a store owner in the same area.

Members of the opposing group beat him and knocked him down. He then pulls out a gun, moves toward them and they shoot. They, taken by surprise, run away while one hides behind a car.
