There were riots in various regions of Greece because 16-year-old Roma Kostas Frangoulis was fatally shot by a police officer.
Demonstrations were held in Thessaloniki against the murder of 16-year-old Roma Kostas Frangoulis. Student associations and trade union representatives demanded that there be no "cover-up" in the investigation of the incident.
In addition, a group of Roma blocked one of the local roads. They barricaded themselves in and set fire to trash garbage cans. About 80 people set fire to and blocked the main road on the island of Evia. In the port city of Patras, on the Peloponnese peninsula, a march was held in memory of the dead. Then the anarchists threw stones and firecrackers at the police. The law enforcers responded with tear gas. Earlier it was reported that the police received information that a truck driver at a gas station in Thessaloniki had failed to pay 20 euros for gasoline.
During the chase, he attempted to ram police motorcycles, and after firing, he crashed into the wall of a house. The 16-year-old was driving. Police said they did not shoot at the teenager, but at the wheels of the car. The policeman has now been placed under house arrest.
