Bulgarian and Russian mafia operate in the tourist areas areas in Northern Greece, the Greek media reported today, quoted by BNR.
The Russian and Bulgarian mafia are operating in Kavala, Thassos and Halkidiki, the Greek media reported today, citing a journalistic investigation. The mayor of Kassandra, where the bar with the shooting between Bulgarians is located, said that she was threatened with murder in order not to check specific establishments and tourist companies.
It is no longer even known who is the owner of the nightclubs that are rented by Bulgarians and Russians through fake persons. They control the security of the establishments, use rackets and manage drug distribution channels.
A large amusement park in Halkidiki, where two days ago a 19-year-old youth died from a collapse of a ferris wheel, turned out to be completely without a permit and technical certificates. Workers there told authorities that all the games were imported illegally from Bulgaria, where they were left for scrap. Organized criminal groups also operate in Thessaloniki, Athens and Mykonos, the media said in comments. The police are powerless to deal with them, Greeks comment on social networks.
