All four Kalogeropoulos murder suspects plead not guilty
All four men suspected of killing Thanasis Kalogeropoulos pleaded not guilty to charges including premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit murder, possession and transportation of a firearm and ammunition, and vehicle theft and arson. The 22-year-old suspect is also charged with aiding and abetting a murder. An appeal has been lodged at the Supreme Court to annul the order allowing investigators to access telecommunications data from the suspects’ phones. The trial’s next hearing is set for June 11, and the defendants will remain under remand until then. Kalogeropoulos was shot 10 times at close range from a vehicle by two people with a pistol and a Kalashnikov. The 22-year-old is believed to be the mastermind, the 41-year-old is suspected of firing the shots, the 44-year-old owns the house where the murder was planned, and the 21-year-old was allegedly riding the motorcycle used in the getaway.
