[01] Vanished businessman returns home, investigation continues
A 59-year-old Thessaloniki businessman who had been missing since last
Friday night and believed to be the victim of abduction returned home
in the early hours of Wednesday and was well in health, police said
Wednesday.
According to the Thessaloniki General Police Directorate, which was
investigating the disappearance, the man returned home at 2:30 a.m. and
was in good health.
The investigation was continuing, shrouded in secrecy.
The businessman went missing on Friday night after he left his car
dealership in central Thessaloniki, but never arrived home in
Oreokastro, causing his family to worry and finally seek the assistance
of the police after their own search for the man proved fruitless.
The police are officially dealing with the case as a disappearance, but
the investigation, which is shrouded in secrecy, is also examining the
possibility of abduction, following a message purportedly received by
the businessman's son on his cell phone demanding that the family amass
the sum of 400,000 euros in ransom money for the man's release.
Police are investigating the car dealer's business environment and
dealings.
