The girl was the niece of Asteras Tripolis football team owner Giannis Kaimenakis.

She was kidnapped on Friday, October 31, outside her apartment in the area of Kypseli, in downtown Athens.

The kidnappers had originally contacted her father and demanded a ransom of 10 million euros for her release. They finally accepted the sum of 82,000 euros and returned her to her family.

According to information that was made public today, the victim’s family received a note that was handed to the police for examination, where they tried to figure out if it was written by the girl. When they were convinced that it was written by her, they decided to give the kidnappers the ransom they were asking for. The kidnappers had originally contacted her father and demanded a ransom of 10 million euros for her release. They finally accepted the sum of 82,000 euros and returned her to her family.

The family, guided by police, left the money at a designated spot in the area of Neo Iraklio, in northern Attica. The girl was later returned at the area where she was kidnapped from, in Kypseli.



An investigation has been launched by the Attica Security police to find and arrest the kidnappers, who are believed to be four in total. The girl has testified that she did not see the kidnappers' faces and that she cannot determine where they had taken her.
