Speaking to ERT, he said: “It is certain that the work carried out by the new service, the Greek FBI and the Organized Crime Management Directorate, which is made up of capable officers, will also lead to this murder. It is important that every day the successes this service has are very great. The bumps in organized crime are decisive. Suffice it to remember that 60 people have been arrested who cheated on the citizens and stole fuel from the pump. “
He then referred to the action of the Greek FBI, noting:
“There is a huge activity that is very targeted and beats where criminal organizations need. This service has been living for five months and has dismissed 48 criminal organizations. He has accused 1,176 perpetrators and has arrested and referred 702 perpetrators to the judiciary, ”he added.
Michalis Chrysochoidis talked about the changes in the structure of ELAS, saying that “we are laying the foundations for a new modern police and technologically upgraded”.
“New departments have been established, such as the Directorate of Social Police, namely the management that deals with domestic violence, minors, animal protection issues, racist violence, that is, a number of issues that are contemporary. Police need to have very targeted policies, dedicated police officers, planning and strategy. And above this there is a great job, as well as the introduction of technology to the police so that it can be more effective. “
With reference to traffic accidents, The Minister of Citizen Protection said that “beyond all the problems, our perception of driving, our culture, our behavior is to blame. When we drive and talk on the phone at the same time and drag a mother with a stroller with her child, it is not a matter of police control. This is a matter of responsibility for everyone. Correspondingly when we do not wear the helmet and when we violate the red. It’s not just a matter of policing. “
To citizens who drive without a driving license, he said: “We have many thousands of autopsy this year. At the moment those who drive without a diploma and there are too many, mainly with bicycles, are driven to the autopsy. That is, they are taken to the prosecutor, and even some of them are professionals, that is, they are practicing their profession through driving. “

Subsequently, as Michalis Chrysochoidis noted for the safety of public transport: “There were about 60 people in Athens. 130 people have been added to the Suburban and Buses of OSY to areas such as West Attica, because there are plenty of problems with drug users, who are trying to get to the point to take their dose with thefts and attacks by Roma camps against buses.
We agreed with Mr Kyranakis to be hired at STASY’s costs of 150 police officers, who will be staffing all the routes and stations of STASY throughout the Athens Metro network, as well as 130 police officers, who will be recruited again at OSY expenses and will be opened. So a total of 280. “
‘Evros is safe and inaccessible’
Speaking about Evros and border security, the minister stressed that “the fence is 75 kilometers. An amazing project, a very important project that really ensures the security of our borders. “
“Evros is inaccessible and safe and, since Evros is safe, it is certain that we can feel that our borders are completely controlled and so does the sea of the Aegean. Proof is that the rhythms of irregular migration are too low, ”he said.
“The extension of the fence has been decided by KYSEA about a week ago, ordered the prime minister to move on, so it is an issue that will evolve next time.”
“We have 13,000 arrests of abusers – we have doubling, so it means that the mouths have been opened.”
Regarding domestic violence, the minister said that “it is a matter we started last year, on the occasion of the tragic incident of Saint Anargyri. We have results that are strikingly negative. We have 13,000 arrests of men who were accused by their comrades within a year, while in 2023 they were 5,500. We have more than doubles, so it means that the mouths have been opened, women denounce torture, beatings, threats. Police have established 65 offices across the country domestic violence with trained police officers, a serious job is done. It is something we are watching and surveillance and become better and more effective and be sure that we will become even better in our response and this is a huge social work provided by the police. For the first time, Greece can and does respond to calls, calls and the need for people who are in a weak position and suffer from abusers and torturers who often remove human lives. “
“We are on the right track because we have changed significantly and the legislation, the legislation has been tightened.”
Finally, as he said: “I think we will claim a very good position in Europe day by day in terms of managing incidents of domestic violence. The same is true of the issue of violence of minors, where this is a very sensitive issue. I wouldn’t say it’s a police problem. It’s a social issue. It’s a matter of the family. Nevertheless, it reaches a police issue. “
