The announcement by the Olympiacos Piraeus team came in the wake of threats made against a deputy minister by an official from another club
Olympiacos FC issued an urgent announcement on Thursday in the wake of high-prolife charges that a football official in the northern city of Thessaloniki threatened the deputy minister of transports and infrastructure.
Olympiacos Piraeus stresses that it has “…consistently and relentlessly condemned, and stands against all forms of violence in society, as well as against the practice of making threats or even blackmail by criminal elements,” the announcement states, while adding:
