Eight minors identified following assault on 13-year-old in Thessaloniki

Greek authorities have identified eight minors allegedly involved in the assault of a 13-year-old girl at a sports facility in the Ampelokipi district of Thessaloniki. The incident occurred on September 18, 2026, when one of the suspects lured the victim to the location where the others were waiting. The group proceeded to assault the girl while filming the act with their mobile phones. The identified suspects include seven girls aged 12, 13, and 14, and a 16-year-old boy who is accused of blocking the victim's exit and threatening her life.

A criminal case file has been filed against the group for charges including physical injury, illegal violence, threats, and violations of personal data protection laws. Two of the suspects were initially arrested on September 19, 2026, within the flagrante delicto timeframe and were brought before a prosecutor. The legal process is ongoing as authorities proceed with the case against all eight individuals involved in the incident.
