About 70 contract killings done in Greece a year: Skai radio

Athens.  There is a huge boom of crime in Greece, the Greek Skai radio informs. In the frames of only 20 days 11 cold-blooded killings were committed. 6 kidnappings and hundreds of robberies and thefts had happened for a period of 6 months, while citizens see the situation getting more and more out of control every other day.

The fact that only for 24-hours after the kidnapping of the tycoon Periklis Panagopoulos at least 10 serious crimes were registered, is showing enough, the radio comments.

According to the police, new forms of crime have emerged since the 1990s, which could be to a certain extent explained with the opening of the border and the entrance of illegal immigrants.

The information further mentions that about 70 contract killings are done per year in Greece.
