The 52-year-old alleged leader of the cocaine trafficking ring, with central figures rasophores – youtuber Parthenio and Asterio, which they had turned into kavatz drugs the holy temple of Liosion Street, in her apology which newsit.gr reveals, she gives a different version of things.
The leader of the ring she talks about her acquaintance with the priests, mentions that they made her use smoking cannabis, that they trafficked drugs and even shopped for their own use, that they cheated the flock, while she reveals that monkey “priests”, rasophores, had baptized the deputy leader of the organization and the leader’s companion, a declared “gardener” who worked in the temple for to cover their dirty deeds.
Along the same lines, is the apology of the deputy leader of the organization, who says that he met the priests through the alleged leader, supplied them with drugs and even goes so far as to reveal that the rasophores called him crying and asked him to bring them cocaine.
“He told me I’ll give you something you’ll fall in love with” and they threw me in the “friba”
At the beginning of her apology, the alleged leader states that met the two “priests” of the church of Agios Parthenios in Liosion. She says she got in touch through some friends to help her find peace.
But instead, he quickly realized that they, they were deceiving the flockwere extracting money which went to drugs and in fact as she reveals they dropped the so-called “fribba” on the use of smoked cocaine.
“Two years ago, I was accused of being a drug user. After my release, a friend of mine introduced me to the priests at the church of Agios Paisios. I addressed them to find a way out of drugs. Through Parthenius, I found peace and confessed to him all my personal problems.
When I met him, Parthenios was making sissytia and distributing them in Omonia. I participated in the sissits, I transported them in my car, I helped with the food. They deceived me and other believers by asking me for money for the needs of the temple and the sissiti. They took 600 euros from me, without returning the money. In the conversation where I seem to be asking for money, it was for my grandson’s baptism. Parthenius seemed to me a holy man. They started getting 30 phone calls a day asking me for cleaners for the church, spaghetti and diapers for the mother of Parthenio.
Parthenios confided in me that he used drugs, specifically cocaine. I didn’t use drugs then. I had stopped since I was released from prison. In July 2025, he told me he’s going to give me something to fall in love with and he gave me to smoke cocaine, fribba. I was given a bottle to sniff that had crystal meth. I was dizzy. Since then we started using frimba together. I was a user, I used cocaine through the nose.”
They baptized the drug dealer “gardener” of the temple
In the following lines, she refers to the acquaintance of her partner and alleged deputy leader of the ring with the two “priests”. In fact, he reveals that the rasophores, in order to cover their dirty business they christened the drug dealer “gardener” who works in the temple.
“My partner and I have been in a relationship for about seven months. When my partner was arrested in June for drugs he told me he had nothing to do with drugs. My partner was not related to the priests. I told the priests that a child is my friend in prison and he needs help. I asked them to help him.
My partner thanked them because they put a witness to say that my partner works in the temple as a gardener, which he was lie. When they met my partner they exchanged phone numbers. I don’t know what they had discussed, but I was present at an incident where my partner had brought me to the temple and Parthenius and Asterius had come out and were shouting “Jimmy work”. Meaning something illegal.
I had also heard phone calls saying they were losing the temple, that they were going to be evicted, and that they needed money. My partner told me that in July he had taken 3 kilos of cannabis to the temple. Asterios called me and said “tell your partner to come and get the lantern pies”. I understood that by the word fanuropita he meant drugs, which I knew my partner has left in the temple. A friend of my partner was going to pick up the drugs, but I don’t know who. I don’t know anything about this amount.”
“The priests used to call me to use it. Illegal things were happening in the church”
Closing her apology, she states that the priests kept calling her on the phone order to use drugs togetherwhile as he points out about a month ago he was forced to leave this church because, as he typically says, illegal things were being done.
“The priests used to call me to go and use it. I took four to five times the amount of cocaine for our own use. The other times they had brought them. The quantities were supplied by people coming from outside the temple. Me, I had asked my partner to give me 1 gram to go. I know that my partner is owed 1900 euros. But I don’t know since when they have business with each other.
I because I used with them, they started to ask me for money and since I didn’t have any, we subtracted them from the debt they owed me of 600 euros. I used to go to the temple alone. My partner and I have never been together. My partner went by himself many times apparently to take quantities of cocaine for them to use.
I don’t know anything about the suitcase with the cocaine either. I spent 17 days with my child in the hospital. Because I had realized that there were other illegal things going on in the church, I moved away a month ago. I also realized that the temple money was going to drugs. I also know that they taught the third rasophore to use and he has been addicted ever since. I ask for your indulgence.
The amount of cannabis which was found in my house it’s not mine. I don’t know whose it is. I work in a catering company. I have four children, two of whom support me financially. I wish to be examined by an expert doctor in order to establish the degree of my dependence on narcotic substances because I have been recognized as a drug addict and I present myself to the department on the 1st and 16th of the month.”
“The priests were calling crying and asking for cocaine”
The partner of the alleged leader and deputy leader of the organization that cultivated cannabis in the Viotia region and trafficked it through the network they had set up in his apology presented by newsit.gr, is revealing regarding the role of the two rasophores.
In fact, just like his partner he attempts to dump everything on them in everything to do with cocaine and drug trafficking.
“When I was arrested in July 2025 for drugs, my partner asked one of the priests to make a responsible statement that I work in the church. The priest accepted it and did it. My partner had a good relationship with the priests Parthenio and Asterio, he went to church, cleaned and helped.
The priests used cocaine. One day they asked me to find them cocaine. I told them that I have nothing to do with them. Parthenios and Asterios, they were calling my partner and pressuring her to tell me to find them cocaine. One day I got a phone call from my partner while she was talking to one of the priests and I asked him why they were bothering her. They would call crying and ask me to bring them cocaine for them.
This happened all the time, me I felt sorry for them because they were sick and I looked to find someone who could supply them with cocaine. I took a friend of mine from Kosovo and he said that I want 2 to 3 grams of cocaine for the priests and that I would give him the money later when I got the priests.
This happened many times until the day we were caught. Two or three times they directly gave me money to give. The rest of the times they gave it to me late. Many times they gave me the bank card to get money from there why his account was empty.
Whenever they had no money, I guaranteed them. I would get the drugs on credit, I would vouch for them, and then I would take whatever money I could find in the account, but the amount would go up and they reached 1900 euros».
The fez and the fuss outside the church
According to the alleged ringleader, the priests demanded more and more cocainebut they didn’t pay.
“Because they weren’t paying me I started fighting with my partner. At some point I realized that my partner was also being given cocaine and was using. My partner was taking four xanax a day. I think they were selling them to my partner.
On the phones, the priests were trying to convince my partner that I should find them drugs. My partner got involved because of me. Ttheir debt had reached 1600 euros. Then they started calling me to find cocaine for them, but they were also getting others.
Because the priests began to owe money to the others, they went outside the church and made a fuss and the priests took me to go and chase them out. This has happened other times. I was going there to talk to those who were outside the church to drive them away. Where I could pay their debt, to others, I gave my own money because I felt sorry for them. I thought I would get them from the priests. My partner was asking me to help them because she loved the priests very much.”
The deal with the Kosovar wholesaler and the transportation of coke to Rhodes
Regarding the big job of transporting 2 kilos of cocaine from the truck to Rhodes, the alleged deputy leader says it was closed, through a Kosovar big dealer.
“Because the priests’ debt was too great to the other suppliersthe priests asked me to find someone with whom to transport drugs all over Greece in order to get money and give it to where they owed. I then spoke again with the one from Kosovo, who told me that he has 9 kilos of cannabis and he asked me to go get it from Chalkida and then give it to the priests.
He also asked me for the phone number from the priests, so that he could get them and agree on where the suitcase would go. I went to Chalkida and got three black bags. The papas talked to the Albanian and they agreed to put aside the cannabis and do a job with cocaine.
I spoke with the Albanian and he instructed me to go to Liosion to get a suitcase and give it to the pope. The Albanian told me to take a taxi to get the suitcase so papas wouldn’t see it. I should give the suitcase to the father and take him by car to the port. The Albanian told me that the suitcase contained 2 kilos of cocaine.
I refused to take the father to the boat in my car and the Albanian told me that the priest should take a taxi and that I should follow him from behind to the boat. I would take 400 euros for that. I didn’t know which island the priest would go to. I saw that the priest got into the boat but I didn’t know where. He would arrange everything with the Albanian. The Albanian was looking for the priest, because he couldn’t find him, and he asked me if the priest sells the cocaine somewhere.
The Albanian told me that if the father had sold the cocaine elsewhere, I would be responsible for it. I put them in touch. From this, papa will spend 2,000 euros for the transport, and I will spend 500 to 700 euros, to pay off part of the debt of 1,900 euros they owed me. I don’t know who would take the suitcase to Rhodes. I deny that I went to church with my partner and took quantities of drugs to sell.”
