Alkis Kampanos

Socialist opposition party PASOK said many of the measures announced by the prime minister on Wednesday to curb hooligan-related violence in Greece are "already foreseen" in the reform package agreed on after the killing of a soccer fan by hooligans in February 2022.

The Mixed Jury Court of Thessaloniki handed life sentences to seven of the 12 convicted for the murder of 19-year-old Alkis Kampanos in a sports club-related attack in February 2021. The other five were each given 20-year sentences, while the court had previously accepted the prosecution's proposal not to recognize extenuating circumstances.

A mixed jury court in Thessaloniki on Thursday unanimously found all 12 defendants in a trial over the killing of 19-year-old Alkis Kampanos in the northern port city in February last year guilty of murder.

The jury found seven of the 12 youths guilty of manslaughter with possible intent - lowered from an initial charge of premeditated murder - and five guilty of complicity.

The prosecutor in the trial over the killing of 19-year-old Alkis Kampanos by a group of hooligans in Thessaloniki in February 2022 has called for all 12 defendants to be found guilty of murder.

"They all set out to kill and they succeeded," the prosecutor, Kyriaki Kliamba, said. "All the defendants intended to kill" and "did not act randomly," she added.

One of the 12 defendants in the trial over the murder of 19-year-old Alkis Kampanos and the injury of two friends by a group of hooligans in Thessaloniki in February 2022 allegedly confessed on Thursday to dealing the fatal blow to the victim.

A street in the northern city of Thessaloniki was renamed on Tuesday in honor of Alkis Kampanos, a 19-year-old who was murdered on February 1, 2022 by a gang of youths in an attack that was connected to soccer fan rivalries.
