A mob-style murder at a petrol station in southern Athens has shone a light on the brutality of the Greek mafia.
A manhunt is underway for the killers of crime boss Vangelis Zambounis, who was gunned down earlier this week.
More than 90 rounds from a Kalashnikov rifle were fired at Zambounis, considered a powerful figure in the Greek criminal underworld.
He was alleged to have led an extortion ring and to have been involved in cigarette and fuel smuggling.
In CCTV video circulated hours after the killing in the early hours of Sunday, a man presumed to be Zambounis is seen getting into an armoured BMW parked outside a petrol station which he owned in the Neos Kosmos area of Athens.
Another vehicle then pulls up behind the BMW. Police later established that it was a Lexus with fake licence plates stolen in Italy months ago.
Two men jump out. One, clad in black and sporting a balaclava, approaches the BMW and fires an AK-47 assault rifle at the driver's window at close range, pausing only to reload.
