Greek Citizen Protection Minister Notis Mitarachi announces retraining of officers after a deadly pursuit involving a Syrian migrant, officers to also start wearing body cameras
The latest deadly incident has revived calls for greater oversight of Greek police after successive disciplinary procedures over alleged abuse that rarely result in punishment.
"No use of violence on the part of Greek police is acceptable... I have already ordered staff retraining in 2023 on engagement protocols," Mitarachi told state TV ERT on Monday. Police trade unionist Giorgos Kalliakmanis told ERT that the 45-year-old officer had discharged his weapon after"stumbling" during the pursuit.
