The bullets came from nowhere. Friday night in Ano Liosia, and the night suddenly lit. A shielded Mercedes, tired with Kalashnikov. The vehicle was withstood. The driver, too. It wasn’t accidental. They knew him. They waited for him.
The target was a 42 -year -old, known in ELAS folders. As a “Body Builder” – a man with a heavy reputation and even heavier links. Former accused of murdering journalist George Karaivaz and “Dirty Harry”. Old ally of the now executed George Moschourisknown in the circle as “bushes”.
Just 23 days after Moschouris’ murder, The dark clock of the underworld hits again. Not by accident. Not without a plan.
Return of Greek Mafia: Death Contracts, Shielded Cars and A War Without Land
To target, in the spotlight, in the dark
The “Body Builder” was released in October 2024. Shortly before, in Korydallu prisons, he had attacked an old member of Greek Mafia, shouting that he was “acting on behalf of Edik”. The Edick: The ghost man behind at least four executions, with a deep influence on cigarette smuggling and beyond.
As such, the “Body Builder” is seemingly passing on to the opponent camp. And in the underworld, this is paid.
A million for your death
According to files and leaks, the amounts playing in this game are not negligible:
1 million euros for Moschouris, 1 million for Panagos, 1 million for two other loud names.
And now? The Body Builder’s turn came.
It is also involved in an extortion case in Mykonos. He is said to have paid a shopkeeper to get rid of his partner – and he was supposed, he was the intermediary. Lease death, in white.

When you don’t die, what are you doing?
Performance fails. He survives. And – paradoxical or predictable – he goes to the police and calls for protection.
It declares ignorance. He doesn’t, he says, open accounts with anyone. He knows nothing.
You don’t answer that way when you don’t know. You answer that when you know and are scared. Or when you just survive.
Underground
Greek Mafia is not what it was. It’s something worse. Separated, fragmented, polychemical and bloodthirsty.
The old ones are dead or in the shade. Young people are ruthless and thirsty. And blood flows to the streets, behind closed doors and tinted glass.
The attempted murder of “Body Builder” is not another act of violence. It’s a chapter. Part of a constant, dark narrative where the allies become targets and death contracts, strategy tool.
In this war, silence is not just complicity. It is survival.
