Ex-Wife, Four Men Appear in Greek Court over Killing of UC Berkeley Professor in Greece
ATHENS, GREECE, JUL 21 – Five suspects, including the ex-wife and her partner, face charges in the premeditated shooting linked to a custody dispute, police said the victim was shot seven times at close range.
- UC Berkeley marketing professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski was shot and killed on July 4 in Athens while visiting his children and approaching his ex-wife's home.
- The killing occurred amid a bitter custody battle between Jeziorski and his Greek ex-wife Nadia Michelidaki, who initiated divorce proceedings in mid-2021 and had recently lost a custody decision shortly before the shooting.
- Michelidaki, her current partner, and three others were arrested and accused of arranging the murder, with the partner confessing to shooting Jeziorski and suspects claiming the plan was to scare him.
- Four of five suspects pled guilty on Monday, while Michelidaki denies involvement and her lawyer asserts she had no prior knowledge of the plot or the killing.
- The victim's family now has sole custody of the children, who hold US and Polish citizenship, and the case highlights challenges around domestic disputes and justice in Greece.
