Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has demanded the “swift resolution” of an investigation into a crime journalist’s murder that has already been condemned by leading European Union officials, political parties and media unions. Giorgos Karaivaz, who worked for private TV station Star and also ran the news blog bloko.gr, was shot several times on Friday as he exited his car outside his house in the southern Athens district of Alimos after returning from work, witnesses said. Police said Karaivaz, 52, was shot by two individuals on a motorcycle who fired multiple rounds. At least 12 bullet casings were collected from the scene, a police official said.More Related News
