The Greek police have not yet issued an official press statement regarding an operation conducted to arrest 6 people accused of the attempted murder of Greek mafia boss Yanni Lala, but new details have been revealed regarding the arrests.
The Greek police have arrested a 45-year-old man from Labova e Poshtme, Gjirokastra, Dhimitër Meçi, known as Dhimo for short. He is considered a hitman in Greece, arrested several times for various incidents and often released under suspicious circumstances.
Dhimitër Meçi was arrested after an operation by the so-called Greek "FBI", along with 5 other people, 3 Albanians and two Greeks, among them a woman.
They are accused of the incident of May 16, 2025, when a motorcycle opened fire on the armored Mercedes-Benz vehicle of 41-year-old Giannis Lalas. He was shot at about 40 times, but the armored car escaped. The incident took place in Ano Liosia, Athens, where the target was pursued by the two assailants.
Lala, a well-known name in Greek mafia circles, was arrested and later released for the murders of Greek journalist George Karaivaz and boxer Hari Kontogiorgi. He was even recently considered the right-hand man of the notorious Ukrainian criminal, "Ethnik", who lives in Dubai and is considered responsible for many criminal events, including murders, in Greece.
In fact, Giannis Lalas was murdered just a month ago in Arahova, Greece, an event already discovered by the Greek police.
During today's operation, Greek police seized 4 Kalashnikovs, 3 pistols, dozens of cartridges and a quantity of cocaine.
Who is Dhimo Meçi?
Dhimo Meci has been prosecuted and convicted several times in Greece for various criminal offenses such as theft, robbery, attempted murder, murder and criminal organization.
He was first arrested in 2004 for the murder of a Syrian migrant outside a prostitution center in central Athens. Held in Kassandra rural prison, he was granted a 9-day leave during which he was involved in the robbery of a Pro-Po agency in Glyfada, stealing 65,000 euros. According to him, this was apparently because the former head of the agency, who was murdered a few months earlier, owed him money. He was released on bail a few months later before being arrested again for violating his bail. He was arrested for several crimes during his career, including theft, robbery, causing bodily harm, use and possession of weapons, and for violating road traffic regulations.
After his release in 2011, he worked as an assistant in a gang involved in crimes in Glyfadha, Haidari, Kaminia and Koridhalos. Shops under the gang's protection had to pay death threats against them and their relatives, 100 to 150 euros every two weeks. Meçi is also suspected of being the murderer of Panagiotis Stivas in September 2006, Ali Saeed and Giorgos Shabbat in March 2008 and "Pitsilas", who is believed to be a former associate of Meçi, in May 2014.
The victim Panagiotis Stivas, according to Greek police officers, belonged to the group of godfathers Giorgos Avtias and Gerasimos Mavrakis (husband of actress Nena Chronopoulou), who were also killed, the first in June 2007 in Gallipoli, Piraeus, and the second in October 2007 in Tavros.
The victim, Ali Said, had knowledge of bomb-making and is believed to have been behind previous explosions at car dealerships owned by Haidar's rival "leader." He is suspected of being responsible for the failed attack with a bomb strapped to a vehicle carrying Giorgos Anagnostopoulos, who was eventually killed in June 2009 in Galatsi.
Victim Giorgos Shabbat, of Israeli origin, was murdered outside a bar where he worked in Kefalari, Kifissia. The same bar was also used by 43-year-old Lebanese Ali Said. Shabbat was suspected of being the “executioner” of Aris Lakiotis on 18 November 2005 in Haidari, of Yiannis Gavakis on 18 September 2006 and of Aristotelis Yagia and Vasilis Nasipian on 27 January 2007 in Nikaia, all members of Haidari’s extortion group.
Victim IT, known as “Pitsila”, was among the suspects in the double murder of Golden Dawn members in Neo Heraklion. This case is most likely a “pull” by an accomplice who knew a lot.
After the murders, he fled to Albania to hide for a while, while it is suspected that he was paid 200,000 euros for the murder. He was arrested in Sepolia in December 2014 in the company of Klodian Lekocaj alias Klod Cara, the leader of a criminal gang involved in several contract killings. Two pistols were found on him, while he was also involved in an attempted murder in Halkidiki in July 2014.
In 2018, while he was imprisoned in Koridhalo, he was identified as the perpetrator of a murder that occurred in 2012. This involved the murder of 29-year-old Albanian Artin Kato in 2012 in Peristeri, Athens. The victim lived in the Netherlands and was invited to the trap meeting by Meci, who communicated with him on Facebook under the fake female name "Anastasia". It is suspected that there were personal conflicts between them.
It is not known how Meci regained his freedom after all these serious accusations.
