Greek police arrest six in Kefalonia nightclub raid

Six people were arrested in Kefalonia, Greece, during police operations targeting an entertainment venue in Argostoli. The arrests took place in the early hours of Sunday, June 21, 2026, conducted by officers from the Directorate for the Suppression of Organized Crime (DSOC).

The operation was part of broader efforts to combat serious and organized crime on the island. The six individuals face charges including disobedience, threats, bodily harm, and violations of laws protecting minors from tobacco and alcohol products. The venue's legal representative was also arrested after it was found that underage individuals had been allowed entry and served alcoholic beverages.

During the inspection, five of the arrested individuals reportedly refused to comply with police instructions and undergo checks. One individual is alleged to have threatened and physically assaulted police officers, causing minor injuries to a member of the special operational team.

The arrested individuals were handed over to the competent judicial authorities for further proceedings. The DSOC, often referred to as the "Hellenic FBI," conducted the operation, which targeted a nightclub in the Argostoli area.
