Tensions remain high in Voria, Crete, following the November 1st shooting, with a continued strained relationship between the Kargakis and Fragkiadakis families. The sister of Evangelia Fragkiadaki filed a complaint against the parents of Fanuris Kargakis, who was killed in the exchange of fire, alleging threats and insults, leading to their arrest. The complaint stems from an incident where the sister of the deceased reportedly passed by the Kargakis family home and was verbally abused. Both families have requested that the other avoid contact and proximity to their neighborhoods. Police sources indicate that most members of the Fragkiadakis family have left the village, seeking to distance themselves from the escalating conflict. The situation remains fragile, with authorities closely monitoring the area to prevent further incidents. This arrest is a continuation of the dispute that began with the deaths of Fanuris Kargakis and Evangelia Fragkiadaki, highlighting the deep-seated animosity and desire for revenge that has gripped the region. Authorities hope that justice will restore order and lead to a peaceful resolution.
