Officers from the Internal Affairs Division arrested a former police officer yesterday morning, who is also a well-known TikToker with over 300,000 followers , on charges of involvement in drug trafficking [1], [2] . He was reportedly arrested along with another individual, a civilian.
The investigation into the 30-year-old began after an anonymous tip—before he resigned from the force a few months ago, when he was serving as a sergeant in the Attica Immediate Response patrol unit. He had previously received commendations from the police, was active in union affairs, spoke publicly on social issues, and had voiced criticism of the force’s leadership.

During a search of his home, police found 153 grams of cocaine, precision scales, anabolic steroids, ammunition, and his official police ID, which he had failed to return upon resignation, falsely reporting it as lost.
According to state broadcaster ERT, he is also believed to have been the driver of a luxury sports car owned by a well-known businessman that was caught speeding on Syngrou Avenue last April.
A case file has been opened against him, and the matter is now in the hands of the judiciary.
