Polish professor murdered in Athens. Sentence after execution in broad daylight

The murder occurred on July 4, 2025, when Jeziorski, a marketing lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, was visiting his children from a previous marriage.

The Pole was shot five times in the chest and neck in the middle of the day in the town of Agia Paraskevi in ​​the Athens metropolitan area.

The perpetrator was arrested the same month and confessed to the murder. A 35-year-old man claimed that he wanted to end the dispute between his partner and Jeziorski, her ex-husband - recalled the website of the daily "Kathimerini".

Information revealed during the investigation shows that the victim and his ex-wife were in the middle of a stormy divorce process, including disputes over child custody and financial issues.

The convict claimed that he had acted without his partner's knowledge. The court did not decide on her guilt; the woman committed suicide while waiting for the trial to determine whether she incited the murder of her ex-husband. The couple's children were 10 years old at the time of the attack. Ultimately, custody was awarded to the deceased's brother.

Three other men were found guilty of complicity in planning and committing the crime.
