The businessman, oenologist, and former mayor of Thessaloniki, Yiannis Boutaris, breathed his last on Saturday night at a private clinic in the city, where he had been hospitalized for serious health problems recently.

These acts were extreme and were condemned by New Democracy, is what the ND MP Makis Voridis said in an interview concerning the attack against Thesssaloniki mayor Yiannis Boutaris , arguing that "they apparently attacked the mayor of Thessaloniki because they did not like his statements and attitude."

The four people arrested for the attack on mayor Yannis Boutaris will be taken to face the Thessaloniki Public Prosecutor, today .
