Tsipras has appointed the pawnbroker

Mr. Tsipras noted that "one of the two circuits is the famous chain of pawnbrokers, which had thrown thousands of our fellow citizens in the early years of the crisis."

This also marked the successful capture of thieves at a supermarket in Vrilissia and yesterday at ELTA in Vilia.

The pawnbroker

One of the leaders of one of the two major gold smuggling rings that was dismantled would be the owner of a 51-year-old chain of pawnbrokers who was arrested along with 58 other people for this extraordinary affair.

According to the same sources, the owner of the pawnbroker would be accused of having collected large quantities of gold with his colleagues from his shops and other pawnbrokers, then to have directed them to the Turkey and other countries. The police created "a leaf and a feather", both in the offices of his company and in his luxurious home in the southern suburbs.

At the same time, it is considered that a well-known goldsmith also plays a role in a circuit. In the case, according to the police, other owners of pawnbrokers, foreigners and common criminal law people would also be involved.

It should be noted that in addition to the 59 arrests so far, gold and silver have been seized, as well as weapons, large sums of money and a lot of gold.

The company responsible for the dismantling of the two circuits was created by the Northeast Attica Security Division and the Maroussi Security Department, with the badistance of the Attica Security Directorate and ECAM.

Those arrested must be brought before the prosecutor today. The presentation of the case is expected to take place in the afternoon at the headquarters of the General Police of Attica.
