Suspected killers of journalist Karaivaz to testify before prosecutor

The two brothers, 48 and 40, who were arrested on Friday on suspicion of assassinating journalist Giorgos Karaivaz in 2021 will testify before the prosecutor on Wednesday.

The two Greek men were led before a prosecutor around noon on Saturday and were granted an extension to testify.

Police said the elder brother had been brought in for questioning two weeks ago to explain the presence of a white van he owned that had been found in the area where the assassination took place. He responded he did not remember. A van and a scooter had been used by them to leave the scene after the killing, while their cellphones had been deactivated for two days.
