“Was the whole thing set up ?” he wondered speaking to the camera of “Tunnel” the older brother of the missing businessman of Thessaloniki.
“Not one of those who were in the slaughterhouses saw anything?
Justice. I want justice! I do not know if someone owed him money and what accounts he had. I only know that he went to the slaughterhouses and not returned … ” he said.
He said he was surprised that the cell phone of his brother switched off, because he said he was never turn it off and ruled out the idea he left alone.
“Definitely he would contact someone, first with his daughter and then his nephew. There is no way he left.

“This seemed the last position of him …”
“Tunnel” ‘s camera recorded the new investigations for the 59 year old businessman from Thessaloniki Dimitris Graikos. This time the new round of surveys asked by his siblings through their legal representative Nikos Dialynas.
The journalist of the broadcast was found along with the well-known lawyer and the Volunteer Association President of O.F.K.A.TH Christos Ramos to a factory in the Chalastra area. The security camera of the installations had recorded the last position of Dimitris Graikos before he disappeared from the face of the earth.
As explained someone in charge of the spot, this road leads to Sindos, to the industrial area of the region with the factories and in another way which directed to Agios Athanasios. He mentioned scenarios that were heard, that the entrepreneur was fell probably in Axios River.
Thessaloniki Police who investigating the case of the disappearance of Graikos went to the premises several times to examine the material from the security cameras.
His siblings opened a new research cycle …
“Tunnel” was found in the Axios River and recorded the launch of the new cycle of investigations opened by the siblings of the missing businessman. Investigations conducted by the chairman and members of the Association of Volunteers of O.F.K.A.TH while closely watch the legal family spokesman Nikos Dialinas.
Volunteers focus their research in the area of the river near the point where was recorded the last position of Dimitri Graikos by security cameras.
They said, so far have been looking at all accessible points and small rivers now remains to investigate Axios river and Loudias. Weather conditions do not facilitate the volunteers, as the river is deep and water due season is still at a high level.
The aim is to give more emphasis to the cause of this mysterious disappearance, as key to the mystery is the car of the missing which still has not been found.
As told to “Tunnel” the president of the Association of Volunteers Christos Ramos, have already mapped the area with aerial shots and they are able to see the level of risk that have rough spots, to directly initiate investigations by qualified diver in both rivers.
“This is a difficult task, but we should try and help to put an end to this story,” he said.
In the broadcast camera also spoke the experienced diver who will participate in the surveys. He said that there are many difficulties with main the zero visibility in the river because of the mud, while the depth which is up to six meters, is able to “bury” a car.
With the help of inflatable boats volunteers will use a net that will spread the width of the river which reaches seventy meters. This will attempt to scan the seabed although this is an extremely time consuming process, since it takes about one hour for five sweeping metres.
Nikos Dialinas argued that as time passes the version of extinction weakened and increases other versions, one of which is the homicide. He said the missing person moved in a way completely opposite from the direction of his house having money on him and this would be one more reason to be cautious. He argued that if he had a meeting with someone, that person should already have occurred.
He said that at this time the file will be transferred from the Missing persons department of the police to the Crime investigation section.
