Alket Rizai declared fugitive following shooting incident in Anavyssos

On September 14, 2026, a violent shooting incident occurred outside a beach bar in Anavyssos, Greece, involving notorious convict Alket Rizai. Rizai, who had been granted prison leave from Domokos prison, was reportedly socializing at the establishment. The conflict began when the staff turned off the music late at night, prompting Rizai and his companions to block the entrance with a vehicle and blast loud music. Following a confrontation with the staff, Rizai allegedly drew a firearm and fired into the air.

During the altercation, an Afghan individual also produced a weapon and fired in the direction of Rizai. The gunfire struck and injured two employees of the bar, one Greek and one Pakistani national. Following the event, authorities have officially declared Rizai a fugitive, as he did not return to prison as required. Police have launched an intensive manhunt to locate the convict, who is well-known for his history of high-profile escapes, while the investigation into the shooting and the identities of all involved parties remains ongoing.
