Journalist shot dead in Athens Monday, 19 July 2010 16:13 An investigative journalist has been shot dead in Athens, the first murder of a journalist in Greece in more than 20 years. Greek political parties and journalist unions expressed outrage at the killing of 37-year-old Sokratis Giolias outside his home in the Athens suburb of Ilioupoli. 'Somebody wanted to silence a very good investigative reporter who had stepped on a lot of toes with his stories,' said Panos Sobolos, president of the Athens journalists' union. Mr Giolias was shot dead on his doorstep after three assailants opened fire at close range. Mr Giolias, news chief at radio station Thema 98.9 and father of one child, died instantly. Police were investigating possible motives behind the murder. Greek newspapers and television stations have been subject to several violent attacks. Last year, an extremist group opened fire on the headquarters of private television station Alter, without causing any injury. ------------------------------------ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
