Diamond Dealer Murdered In Greece.
The Associated Press reports this morning that Police in Greece have found the body of diamond dealer, Shmuel Levy, who disappeared shortly after arriving in Athens on October 10.
Four men have been arrested on murder charges including a lapidary expert and a business associate in Athens who said they thought Levy was carrying diamonds, according to police authorities. Levy apparently died from multiple blows to his head and was found 30 miles outside of Athens. Levy’s cash, passports, and diamonds were found in his rented apartment.
Levy, 66 years old, was a resident of Jerusalem who held both an American and an Israeli passport. His son flew to Greece after his father failed to return to Israel on his pre-booked flight. In Greece, Levy’s son appealed to both the American Embassy and the Israeli Embassy for help. He also called upon Interpol to investigate the disappearance of Shmuel Levy.
