Attack on Strasbourg was planning, according to what he wrote in his letter, the 89-year-old, who unleashed a double armed attack today at EFKA Kerameikos and the courts of Loukareos, injuring a total of five people.
According to “K” information, the man, who traveled by taxi to Patras and was found in a hotel near KTEL, having in his possession a loaded 38-gauge gun, he had already booked a ticket to neighboring Italy, which he even showed at the reception. The elderly man was reportedly planning to travel to Strasbourg via Italy.
The man reportedly entered the hotel as a customer and stopped briefly at the bar.
Hotel employees reported to the local thebest.gr that he was cheerful and smiling, but with signs of mental instability. He did not resist arrest and as he left he said: “You’ll see me on the news tonight.”
The taxi driver was the one who notified the authorities.
The chronicle
Shortly after 10 in the morning, the 89-year-old entered the EFKA offices, wearing a dark-colored trench coat, in which he had hidden the rifle, and headed to the fourth floor of the building, towards the Registrar’s office.
There he took out the carbine and pointed at the employees. He even asked one employee to bend down and then shot another in the leg.
About an hour after the first incident, the 89-year-old arrived at the Magistrate’s Court, where he managed to enter the building by passing security without being noticed, carrying a sawed-off rifle.
After getting inside, he headed to an office where, according to witnesses, he opened fire. As reported by ERT, it does not seem to have targeted specific people, however shrapnel from the shots injured four people.
According to information, before leaving the old man threw letters in the area, saying: “In them you will find the reasons I did my act.”
What did he say in his letter?
Gentlemen of the newspapers, good morning. He is (…) I was born in Messinia in 1937 and I joined the army in 1959.
In 1962 I went to Berlin for work and school. In 1970 I traveled and settled in Chicago. In 2005 I filed in Chicago for a pension and America gave me a pension in two months. I also filed the German card in Chicago and in six months they sent me the gross German pension.
In the same office and at the same time, along with the two cards, I also submitted the Greek IKA: the official ID card and the sick card. The Americans told me that they would send the papers to Greece and they gave me two of the copies and some other papers. Since they went to Greece, the big problems started with the Greek IKA and with the Greek courts.
The Greek IKA, this committee in Attica Square, when they called me to the office, cursed me vulgarly and called me a “janissary” for coming to their Greece and asking for a pension; I cursed them too. And the Greek IKA, since it has the pen and the pen has the power, firstly made a forgery and secondly sabotaged me, writing a letter to the German IKA that they do not give me a Greek pension.
PS: The public services, the Greek courts and the Greek IKA treated me here in Greece – where I came and have been for 20 years, with a US pension of $2,600 a month, for 20 years – over half a million dollars – like a stray dog of the kicker and the cop.
And I, the dog, now I was mad and I am mad and one day I will go to the offices and bite them, so that they will be mad too.
The furious one
P.K.”
