A 40-year-old man was beaten and kidnapped in Anavyssos last Tuesday (30/12) over a debt of 16,000 euros, in a story that strongly resembles a mafia movie.

A powerful firefighting force battled with the flames at Anavyssos highway and Panagouli avenue which threatened homes. In all, 40 firefighters with 20 vehicles and 2 helicopters are still involved in the fight.
