Greek police neutralized a criminal group involved in a robbery. Among the suspects were immigrants from the post -Soviet space, including a citizen of the Russian Federation. However, one suspect managed to hide under curious circumstances - the robber was hiding in the closet for 14 hours, waiting for investigative actions.
As part of the investigation, a 40-year-old Russian named Igor and a 35-year-old Armenian were arrested. Their 41-year-old accomplice, who is a native of Moldova, died during the detention. The man fell from the seventh floor and crashed to death, writes Kathimerini .

At about 10:00 p.m. on Monday, criminals entered the dwelling on the eighth floor, after which they tied the 64-year-old mistress and housekeeper. However, a video camera was installed in the room, which in real time displayed the image on the monitor of the son of a hostess living a floor above. Seeing the robbers, the man called the police.

When a relative of the victim opened the sash, a robber in a mask and weapons jumped out of the closet. The suspect managed to hide, writes Greek Reporter .
The most amazing thing is that law enforcement officers and forensics carefully examined the crime scene and even removed fingerprints from the cabinet doors, but none of them guessed to look inside.
Already after the flight of a hiding robber, police officers, as well as special forces and dog handlers with dog dogs, were again called to the scene. However, it was not possible to take a trace and find an attacker.
The police consider the detained "Russian Igor" involved in the 36 armed robberies of state institutions, theft of funds, and robberies of banks.

According to the police, two years later, the Russian participated in the robbery of the Eurobank branch in Kallifa (Athens district). At that time, criminals wounded an employee of a private security company who tried to pursue them.
In July 2011, the Russian was again arrested along with four accomplices after the robbery of the post office in Keracini. Igor was sentenced to 17 years in prison, but after four years he was released in an amnesty (the Law of Parasquilos).
The arrested Armenian previously detained for theft. And the deceased Moldavian was arrested for complicity in the murder during the armed robbery of a jewelry store in Piraeus. Then the raiders mortally wounded the owner of the cabin.
