οργώστε εσείς όσο θέλετε το λιμάνι μα αφήστε με αχάιδευτο στο χτεσινό μου γράμμα στο στόμα μου τρίζει η τελευταία της λέξη σαν αλμυρό δάκρυ στο όνειρο ενού τυφλού.

Seven officers involved in a shootout that killed a 20-year-old man and injured a teenager after a car chase in Piraeus on Saturday morning were arrested for intentional homicide.

All seven are expected to be led before a prosecutor at 7 p.m.

Greek Police (ELAS) said on a statement earlier in the day that officers of the DIAS motorcycle-riding unit signalled the driver of a car which they suspected was stolen to stop for a check, but the driver sped off.

A car chase ensued which ended at Elpidos Street in Perama when the driver turned and rammed the police motorcycles following him. Officers started shooting towards the car, killing the 20-year-old driver and injuring a 16-year-old passenger, while a third man inside the vehicle managed to escape and is wanted by police.
