Two Turkish nationals convicted of murdering six of their compatriots in Loutsa, East Attica, in September 2023 have been sentenced to six life terms each.
Their trial concluded late Thursday night, with an Athens court finding both defendants guilty of direct involvement in the murders.
The court rejected the defense lawyers’ pleas for mitigating circumstances and imposed the maximum penalty, sentencing each perpetrator to six life terms.
The six victims were ambushed and killed just meters from the Airbnb rental in Loutsa, where they had been staying.
Authorities linked the killings to an ongoing conflict between rival factions of Turkish organized crime operating in Greece.
