The 32-year-old appeared in his apology, for the fact that he agreed to transport cocaine, claiming that he was involved in trafficking due to his drug addiction.
According to his apology, he was forced to transport the drugs due to the debt he owed to a person named “Vassilis”.
He claimed that his partner had nothing to do with drug trafficking and that he was trying to prevent him from using drugs.
“After a serious injury in my waist I was forced to stop playing football until 2011. Then I started working as a bartender in Athens in various nightclubs and in the summer in Naxos. That’s when I started using cocaine.
When I worked in nightclubs, I was given cocaine. Unfortunately due to daily use I became addicted and have been addicted to cocaine ever since. “I have used other drugs such as mdma and extacy in combination with alcohol overdose,” he said in his apology.

At the same time, regarding his relationship and acquaintance with the former reality actress, he stated, “I met my co-accused in 2017 in a night shop in Gazi where I worked as a bartender and she as a public relations manager. We worked together for a while and then got married. I feel that I am destroying myself because I spent the night every day and I abused drugs and alcohol.
I revealed to my co-accused the problem of my addiction, which prompted me and helped me to stop night work to change my environment and try to quit drugs. We both stopped night work. For some time I managed to stop using it but unfortunately then I relapsed.
I was fighting with my roommate because of the use. That was the reason we did not live together permanently, but she stayed with her parents and just came to my house some nights. “I had promised her that I would attend a detoxification program and we believed that if we had a family, my body would be absorbed mentally and spiritually and I would escape for good,” he described in his written explanations to the interrogator.
Everything took a bad turn for him as he stated in the apology during the first quarantine. Then, he met again as claimed by the person who asked him to transport the cocaine, claiming that he was threatening him, telling him “I know where you live, you and your girlfriend will have a problem”.
Specifically in his memo he describes
“After March 2020, during the quarantine, I met an old acquaintance of mine. We had used it with him before. He always had cocaine on him. I met him in Plyta Square when I was walking my dog. I remembered him for a long time. We caught the conversation and he told me that he can still find cocaine and he even treated me. I ended up in the psychological isolation of quarantine to relapse and make use of. I continued to procure from him and got to the point of owing him 6,500 euros. I had promised to repay him at the end of this summer.
I came back but I did not have the money and then he started threatening me saying “I know where you live, you and your girlfriend will have a problem too”. I asked him “where did you see my girlfriend”.
She told me that she had seen her because she was walking my dog in the same square. I know this person as Vassilis and he is 40 years old and taller than me. On September 7, 2021, Vassilis came out of my house and was waiting for me with two other people who were on the motorcycle with helmets.
He told me that because I owed him something I should do for him so that he would not hurt me. He told me that he would send me to pick up a bag from somewhere and deliver it somewhere else. He had not told me that it would contain. I realized it was drugs but I did not know the type and quantity. He told me that he would come to find me again on Thursday at noon on Dikaiarchou Street at the height of a convenience store.

Indeed, he came on Thursday and told me to go to Nea Smyrni at the corner of Ephesus and Polykarpos and that a taxi station wagon would arrive at 3:30. I would tell the driver that “I am coming from Vassilis” and he will leave me a bag that I will have to walk to the church of Agia Fotini, on the corner of the grocery store where a Toyota by sea will pick it up.
In fact, I went on foot to the intersection of Ephesus and Polykarpos and after a while the station wagon taxi appeared which was parked in the opposite corner of the intersection. After 3 seconds, from the same time of the road from which the taxi had come, two machines passed in front of me which I watched intently as I waited for them to move in order to cross safely. Two people were riding in one and one in the other. I saw that all three occupants had helmets and in the engine with the two people I saw a headphone cable hanging.
I cross the road across the street, go to the taxi driver and tell him “I’m coming from Vassilis” and at that moment an unknown person gets out of the taxi and takes a travel bag from the trunk of the car and leaves it on the sidewalk. At the same time I anxiously told him “you saw the machines that passed” and he replied “yes I saw them before, take it and leave” and he got in the car and left in a hurry.
Until that moment I had not touched the bag. I thought the machines I passed with the headset may have been police and I hesitated to take the bag but the taxi driver left it and left and I was afraid to let it go and I find my trouble from Vassilis and accuse me of stealing it. So while I was standing next to the braking bag, I look behind me and see that the engines have not come upside down on the road towards me. They were policemen, they threw me down and beat me. I did not resist at all and shouted “I’m down what you say”.
They handcuffed me and asked me “who sent you?” where would you go these? (They did not ask me who gave me the bag, Because they probably knew). After they removed my personal belongings and handcuffed me, I told them that I wanted to work with them and tell them that I knew them. I revealed to them the place where I would deliver the bag and they asked me to go together. We went to Agia Fotini but no one showed up because they obviously realized that there were other people and that I did not get there on foot “.
In any case, the 32-year-old denies the accusation as attributed to him and claims that in no case is he a drug dealer. “I deny the accusation, as it is attributed to me. I am not a drug dealer. I have been working since I was 13 years old and in my life I have fought with honesty and sweat to survive. I accept that I tried to transfer the confiscated quantity from the place that will receive it to the place that was indicated to me.
But I honestly declare that the confiscated quantity was not mine, it does not belong to me yet, I did not have the power to dispose of it, nor did I decide on its fate. I did not manage to get possession of the suitcase. Before I could touch her, the police arrested me.

“No relationship my partner”
My partner has absolutely nothing to do with it and I am solely to blame for her involvement, in the sense that if she was not in my small house she would not be accused.
I understand that I had to refuse to go and pick up the confiscated quantity. I was wrong, I sincerely regret it and I know that I will suffer the consequences of the law “.
