The Stars of the Criminal Pantheon, As I Lived Them
"I reported police investigations for forty years and in my my professional career I lived a life with my colleagues, with police officers, with fire fighters, but also with the all sorts of criminals. Practising journalism, I always had as a priority to inform objectively the readers, the listeners and my television viewers. I did not like to condemn or acquit the criminals and the variations of outlaws – this is not the work of a journalist. It is the work of the public prosecutors and judges. I never mixed my role with the role of another –they are each distinguishable. […] Almost all, that are included in this book, I have known personally. And all without exception I met making reports of the offences for which they were accused and condemned of – and I can tell you, that they are people with feelings, with faults but also virtues, which they used for the wrong reasons and aims. […] I also wrote this book because I wanted to leave a written account for the next generations of crimes in Greece the past forty years. To report the real incidents that occupied the common opinion and to "sketch out" persons and situations without a trace of exaggeration and inaccuracy, passing simultaneously certain positive messages to our fellowman and, more generally, for the Greek society – without naturally sounding like a schoolteacher, the public prosecutor or a preacher".
