![]() ![]() Greek law enforcement officers have been increasingly accused of colluding with Golden Dawn, whose calling card appears to be open-ended violence. "Golden Dawn is intensifying its attacks enjoying complete asylum from the police," the anti-racist group Keerfa said in a statement. The killing comes days after Golden Dawn cadres attacked members of the Greek Communist party in a similar late-night raid. Hundreds of anti-fascist supporters gathered at the scene of the murder in the early hours, with leftists announcing a much bigger rally later on Wednesday. In an atmosphere that has become increasingly polarised on the back of economic desperation – and soaring support for Golden Dawn – the backlash has been fierce. Activists, who have accused the extremist group of increasingly targeting leftists, claimed police stood by when a mob of neo-Nazi thugs assaulted the singer. Keratsini's mayor, Loukas Tzannis, said that black-clad Golden Dawn cadres were behind the attack and that Fyssas had been "ambushed" as he left a cafe after a heated altercation over a football match. "They were his last words before he succumbed to his wounds," said one source requesting anonymity. The alleged perpetrator, who has not been named, reportedly admitted having links to the extremist group, according to police.įyssas, Greece's foremost hip-hop artist who performed under the stage name Killah P, is said to have identified the culprit as he was being taken to hospital after being injured in the brawl which broke out shortly after midnight in Piraeus's working-class district of Keratsini. The raids came within hours of a 45-year-old man being arrested in connection with the murder. ![]()
