DNA of a local man stabbed to death in early August during a rampage by dozens of Dinamo Zagreb hooligans outside the AEK Athens stadium in northwest Athens has reportedly been found on the confiscated knife of a Croatian man detained in the case.
According to exclusive information presented on the prime-time newscast of Mega channel on Thursday evening, the finding is deemed by Greek authorities as crucial. Conversely, law enforcement and prosecutors face another question mark, given that blood belonging to another individual, still unknown, was detected on the same knife.
Additionally, a forensic examination of the cell phone of another Croatian man arrested and held in pre-trial detention reportedly has turned up messages citing three individuals – who are not incarcerated – as knowing perpetrator behind the shocking murder of Michalis Katsouris.
The trio of identified individuals is expected to be summoned to provide testimony.
The attack and murder of Katsouris, 29, shocked the country and European football, given that a convoy carrying the Croatian hooligans traveled through half of Greece, under police surveillance most of the time, before reaching the Nea Philadelphia district in northwest Athens on the evening of Aug. 7.
