Christos Mavrikis has faced criminal prosecution, following an incident where he allegedly had a dispute with an Albanian individual. During this argument, Mavrikis reportedly fired two shots into the air, raising serious safety concerns in the neighborhood of Spata, near Imerou Pevkou, where the incident took place. The altercation and subsequent gunfire alarmed local residents and prompted a swift response from law enforcement.

The charges against Mavrikis include several misdemeanors, such as illegal possession of a sound and flash weapon, reckless shooting, illegal possession of ammunition for such weapons, insubordination, making threats, and illegal possession of a marine flare. The combination of these charges indicates that authorities are taking the situation seriously, particularly given the potential risks associated with discharging firearms in populated areas.

Mavrikis has been brought before the court for immediate trial, as indicated by the reference to the 'Αυτοφωρο' (Autoforo) process, which is a fast-track legal procedure for cases considered urgent. The outcome of this case may not only affect Mavrikis’s legal standing but may also have implications for local gun control efforts and community safety in the region.
