ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Police in Greece have arrested a rap artist accused of using explosives to rob cash machines and finance his music videos, authorities said Monday.
The 28-year-old Greek rapper, identified as Don Leon, was arrested over the weekend with two other suspects aged 26 and 27 after police raided a property near Athens and searched several vehicles.
Police seized 3.3 pounds of explosives, an M16 assault rifle, four handguns and just over $217,200 in cash.
“They laundered money by spending exorbitant amounts via the music industry or by gambling at casinos,” police Brig. Gen. Ioannis Skouras alleged.
Police spokeswoman Constantia Dimoglidou alleged the gang was linked to 10 ATM attacks in several parts of Greece, mostly in isolated locations, stealing an estimated $770,000 in total.
Notably, the 28-year-old Greek rapper had a previous arrest in 2021 for similar crimes and was released from prison in January 2023, maintaining his plea of not guilty from the previous arrest.
The three suspects face charges of multiple counts of robbery, illegal possession of firearms, illegal possession and use of explosives and vehicle theft.
