A girl gets two Albanian drug trafficking groups into a fight in Athens, three

Two groups of young Albanians clashed twice in central Athens with knives, sticks and iron fists.

Greek media reports that a total of 26 people were involved in the violent conflict, who were members of two rival groups.

It is reported that from the clash between the two groups, three people ended up seriously injured in the hospital, after being stabbed in the chest, near the heart.

The cause was the beating two days ago of Albanian Enki Xhalli by Xhesildo Gruda and Ioannis Panagiotis Polymenos outside the "Beat" bar.

Two days later, the two groups led by Xhalli and Gruda, who is known by the nickname "Cico", met to resolve the dispute.

Security camera footage shows a group of people furiously attacking two men, wielding knives. The perpetrators appear to be completely indifferent to the dozens of eyewitnesses who watched in horror as they watched.

The reason for the initial fight, according to what the arrested told the Athens Police, was a girl. However, there are serious indications that the real motive behind the violence was drug trafficking control.

In the searches carried out at the defendants' homes, the following were found and seized: 97 grams of raw cannabis, 52 grams of cocaine, 51 grams of methamphetamine, and 6 knives.
