The 39-year-old son of a wealthy family was found guilty by the Thessaloniki Military Court for the murder of a Sri Lankan domestic helper in February 2013, with the 25-year-old victim being found dead in the pool of the luxurious residence where the family lived.

The decision by the chief of the Hellenic Police was issued on Monday for the placement of the lieutenant generals and brigadier generals who will staff the new agency that will operate along the lines of the FBI.

A 61-year-old man has been hospitalized on life support after being found severely injured in an elevator shaft at a construction site in the northern port city of Thessaloniki.

Police are investigating reports that he may have been robbed.

Firefighters rescued him from the shaft. The Thessaloniki Security Directorate is leading the investigation.

Specifically, as part of the investigations, twelve criminal organizations involved in burglary and robbery were dismantled, one organization engaged in usury and extortion, and one organization involved in the production and distribution of forged documents.
