Christos Mavrikis finds himself back in prison after a ruling from the Athens Appeals Prosecutor’s Office, which decided to revoke his house arrest that included an electronic monitoring bracelet in favor of temporary detention. This decision, made on February 26, 2026, led to Mavrikis's immediate arrest. The change in his legal status comes after a serious incident on February 16, 2026, where he allegedly fired a weapon in the air from his residence in Spata, causing significant alarm among local police and prompting a three-hour manhunt before he surrendered.

Following the firearm incident, which raised concerns about public safety, legal proceedings were initiated against Mavrikis. Although the court procedures for this event have already begun, the trial originally scheduled has been postponed, with a new date set for April 23, 2026. Mavrikis faces multiple charges, up to six misdemeanors, which include various offenses related to the shooting incident in Spata, highlighting a pattern of behavior that has raised serious legal and social concerns for the involved authorities and the community at large.

This latest development in Mavrikis's case underscores the ongoing challenges faced by the judicial system in addressing repeated offenses and managing individuals who pose potential threats to public safety. As the case progresses toward the upcoming trial, the implications of Mavrikis's actions and the adequacy of the legal responses will likely draw public interest and scrutiny, especially given the serious nature of his earlier offenses and the drastic measures taken to ensure community safety.
