Five Suspects Remanded Over UC Berkeley Professor Murder Athens

Five suspects, including the ex-wife and her partner, appeared in a Greek court over the murder of UC Berkeley professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski, who was fatally shot in Athens in early July. The professor was killed amid a contentious custody dispute, and his partner has confessed to the shooting, claiming it was motivated by fear over losing access to his children. While four suspects pleaded guilty, the ex-wife denies any involvement, with her lawyer asserting she had no prior knowledge and is innocent. The suspects include nationals from Greece, Bulgaria, and Albania, and authorities found six bullet casings at the scene but have yet to recover the murder weapon. Investigations revealed the suspects fled in a luxury car, and charges include murder for the partner, moral complicity for the ex-wife, and assisting the perpetrator for others. The case remains under further investigation as the prosecutor decides on custody and trial proceedings.
