April 9, 2021, marked a somber day for journalism and the relentless pursuit of truth. Giorgos Karaivaz, while on the brink of revealing critical information, fell victim to a ruthless assassination carried out by the Greek Mafia.

The European Federation of Journalists launched a mission to investigate the Greek media. However, their efforts were "mysteriously" marred by a series of setbacks.
