Former referee Giorgos Daloukas has accused Achilleas Beos, the infamous former owner of Olympiakos Volou, of threatening to kill him and his family unless he refereed a game last season in a certain way.
The website of newspaper To Vima revealed on Thursday what Daloukas has testified to sports prosecutor Constantinos Simitzoglou, when the latter was investigating the so-called Calciopoulos scandal last spring.
"Beos called me and told me 'if you don't act as you have to in the match between Aris and Panathinaikos, the Russians and the Albanians will come. I will come along too and we will be laughing. You will not be living for much longer, they will slaughter you and your children'," Daloukas told the prosecutor on March 11.
Daloukas was the referee in the Aris vs Panathinaikos Super League match in September 2010 that Panathinaikos won with a controversial penalty.
Immediately after that game, Vangelis Marinakis, the president of Olympiakos Piraeus, Panathinaikos's rival to the title, issued a statement suggesting that the penalty Daloukas had awarded to Panathinaikos was "a crime against Greece".
Beos is already remanded in custody pending a trial for his role in the match-fixing scandal that concerned a number of first, second and third division games in the last three seasons.
