Arrest of Panathinaikos supporters: How the organisation operated, the "giafka" and the independent drug-trafficking unit
A major police operation led to the arrest of Panathinaikos supporters who had established a criminal organisation for the purpose of drug trafficking.
According to Newsbeast, the group used a specialised space, which they called a "giafka", as a meeting point and storage facility for narcotics. This is where transactions and settlements between members took place.
The organisation had an independent unit dedicated exclusively to the trafficking of substances. Members had defined roles and operated in a specific manner to avoid detection by the authorities.
Police had monitored the group's activities for a significant period of time before proceeding with the arrests. During investigations, quantities of narcotics, sums of money and other items linked to criminal activity were seized.
The case highlights once again the connection between organised crime and the supporter scene, a phenomenon that is of considerable concern to Greek authorities.
