The social media appearances have ended for a well-known TikToker after he was arrested in an extensive operation for extortion in the transportation sector. The 42-year-old had been flaunting a lavish lifestyle, showing off impressive cars like a black Porsche and posting videos of workouts and luxury parties. His followers regularly witnessed an opulent lifestyle surrounded by glamorous figures including nightclub singers.
The dark past of the TikToker arrested for extortion – Attempted murder, theft and blackmail
However, the reality behind the spotlight was completely different. Beyond his involvement in the extortion case that led to his arrest alongside two other individuals, the 42-year-old is far from unknown to authorities, having kept them busy for over 20 years with crimes covering almost the entire criminal code.
Since 1998, at just 15 years old, he had run-ins with the law. From then until now, his name has been involved in at least 25 criminal cases, including participation in criminal organizations, extortion, robberies, fraud, loan sharking, and even attempted murder.
According to reports, even while serving time in Kassaveteia prison in 2013, he allegedly exploited a temporary leave to break into a camp in Panteleimon, stealing the safe.
He now has tens of thousands of young followers on the internet and social media. His arrest for two serious extortion cases against employees and owners of transport companies has brought him back into the spotlight.
The famous TikToker was arrested, while a case file was formed that includes two other men, aged 42 and 47. They face charges including extortion (completed and attempted) in conspiracy, violence against employees, receiving and disposing of crime proceeds, and weapons law violations.
According to police, the two 42-year-olds allegedly acted on orders from the 47-year-old, who is a co-owner of a transport company. Approaching an employee of another transport business, they applied pressure and threats to force him to quit his job and work for another company at a significantly lower salary, causing him financial damage.
Additionally, they attempted using similar methods to force another transport company owner to terminate his cooperation with a specific business, though they failed to achieve their goal.
