There is light in the tunnel of the case of 45 years old Konstantina Kuneva. One year after the attack with vitriol, which burnt the body of the woman, senior staff from Civil Defense Ministry announced they have more information about the person, who organized the attack against Mrs. Kuneva. According to them the moral culprit is a businessman, who has connections with the cleaning firm Konstantina worked for.
Yesterday the police announced that the statement by Minister Mihalis Hrisohoidis on Tuesday was not accidental and that the perpetrators will be found soon. “For the first time in few months the investigation is moving in a certain direction. Our goal is to find the perpetrators of the attack and to avoid mistakes that can delay the investigation. It is clear to us who the moral perpetrator is.”
In recent days police have been on the trail of a businessman who apparently was affected by the union activity of Mrs. Kuneva. In late November 2008 he was enraged by her actions, which were affecting his interests. Police are following his connections with people from the underworld, who most likely have undertaken the task to implement the "wet order" after a payment.
45-year old Bulgarian, who worked as a cleaner in the subway was attacked on the night of December 23 close to her home in Petralona, where strangers splashed her with acid. Mrs. Kuneva is chief secretary of the Cleaners and Housekeepers Union and in the last five years she has worked for IKOMET – company based in Piraeus, which takes care of cleaning contracts for public and private services.
