Mass shootings of that kind are practically unheard of in Greece, and authorities had from the outset suspected a connection with foreign-based criminal organizations. A police statement said one of the two detained suspects had made arrangements for the victims’ stay in Greece and travel plans to Turkey but allegedly led them into the fatal ambush in the seaside town of Artemida.
The six were attacked in their car as they drove to the Athens airport, and police said the killers finished them off with shots to the head fired at closed range.One suspect, a 32-year-old man, was arrested at the airport hours after the shootings before he could board a flight to an eastern Aegean Sea island close to the Turkish coast. On Tuesday, police said, they detained a 28-year-old man in Athens.
The arrests followed cooperation with Greece’s secret service and counter-terrorism squad, police said, and exchanges of information with authorities from other countries.
