In what Ta Nea describes as a “planned assassination,” on 19 July, the investigative journalist and radio chief Sokratis Giolias “who was well known for his role in the uncovering of several scandals” was shot 16 times on his doorstep in Athens. “Why was this journalist targeted? And why was he targeted now?” wonders the daily.
