A few hours after the owner of AEL Novibet, Achilles Davelis had made it clear that without any money he was paying off the shares of the FC, there were serious incidents at the planned rally of his friends.
Episodes that took place outside Davelis' house, with police making use of chemical and tick-light and people shouting slogans against AEL's proprietary regime.
Direct was the reaction of Achilles Davelis, who, with a personal statement not only said that what happened was the greatest show of misery and terrorism that Larisa has lived in for decades, but asked the local authorities that last year were next to him and took photographs of the rise of AEL, to condemn what happened.
In detail the statement of the owner of Thessaloniki is as follows: "In this theatre of absurdity that Larisa lived tonight, it is a wonder when the institutional bodies of our city will officially take a place in the greatest performance of misery, terrorism and absurdity, experienced and experienced by our city for decades.
Since when does barbarism and darkness shape events in a city that it considers to be civilized, modern and developing;
When institutions and society deafen themselves to the cannibalism of a fellow citizen and his family completely unnecessarily, then things are very serious.
When this man is being abused and predominated in the most miserable way by organized local crime for months, because the city and its own team failed to achieve the desired results or was unable to remain in the major category, then some did not realize that Larissa lacked an organized state.
We're talking about the man who saved the local football team from the disaster four years ago, posted it to the big league last year after an absence of years and allocated much of his property for all of this.
We're talking about the man who even sacrificed his health for the love of the Larissans called AEL.
He is this man who is in a hurry today in a way that the historian of the Middle Ages would be jealous of, because our local rulers who last year ran first into the crests of the rise for the photographs, this year indifferent or trembling even openly condemn terrorism against a fellow citizen with an institutional role and institutional offer throughout his life.
A Larissaeus who grew up in this city with the best memories. A Larissaeus whose only crime he committed was his intention to offer the utmost to local society in his own way.
It is more imperative than ever to realise that when in a society terrorism and anarchy impose the law of the jungle at the expense of many, then the problem has not only the victim but all of Larissa.
The city I grew up in was never what we experienced today.
The city we grew up in has values and ideals.
When many allow the few to cannibalize their reputation and offer, then the problem is serious and society must react.
When local media praise scum, they do not serve their role.
Today, in my last attempt to prove that the values that I and my family serve are not reflected in terms of economy exclusively, I have put AEL's shares at the disposal of any investor who wishes to continue this difficult real effort.
And while he would expect any reasonable man to be enthusiastically accepted by recognizing it unselfishly, it seems that eventually a deep darkness has overwhelmed our city.
Does our people really believe that a willing investor will be found for the local team when tonight the internet is flooded with images of shame for Larissa;
Have some people in this town who have memories and monuments forgotten how fascism prevailed and was imposed on our society earlier and more recently;
Because it was about fascism.
I call on the co-ordinated state, the official government, the civil protection minister, and in particular the non-existent political authorities of the city I grew up and loved, to take a stand immediately for the shame that took place tonight in Larissa.
To condemn shame even with months' delay against me and my family.
Protect the safety of my family and my property. Because that's what our Constitution and our Republic define.
I will stand in my city with honor and respect and fight to the end to prove that no one will dare touch me, my family and my thousands of fellow citizens.
Anyone who believes that the motives of these calamitous minorities of Larissa are football, is misleading mistran. The motives of all these marginal elements are deeply political and classy. And they are systematically guided with all the characteristics of an organized gang. They hide behind football and violate the law daily.
Those who don't realize it are at least naive.
Those who pretend they don't understand are at least suspects if not participants in the crime already taking place.
It is worth a better tomorrow for Larissa and for our children and if we cannot manage our history, then we are worthy of our fate.".

According to the report, police forces had to make use of chemical and flash bang grenades.
The episodes continue in the city center around the Central Square.
Today was a very busy day for AEL fans as they had organised a rally against Davelis' administration, protesting the fact that the team would be left headless after and after the departure of the same, who said he would give the shares for free.
In detail the announcement of the FC:
"Friends & Friends of AEL,
on 27 May 2026, we declared our intention to withdraw permanently from the events of AEL FC by selling all its shares and assets by 17 June, setting as a dominant objective the call for interest in investors with serious guarantees. It is obvious that this process as defined has not yet yielded the expected results.
In view of the lack of investment interest and while the part of the AEL FC's obligations is significantly reduced and consequently regulated, in relation to the predecessors of the outgoing administration during the last four years, the family of owners with a sense of responsibility and assuming its historical debt to the AEL and its Larissan fellow citizens, it officially announces its intention to grant completely free of charge the entire stock package of AEL FC only to those who can provide serious guarantees for the current and future obligations of the group. Today's decision is completely harmonised with an earlier statement by the owners, which had taken place at the event for the 60th anniversary of AEL, at the Larisa conservatory.
In addition to a new deadline that will apply from today, we are granting an extension to attract investment interest until Sunday 28 June. We wish to put the Municipality of Larisia, who in the person of the Mayor and first citizen of our city with its institutional authority, as guardian of this new effort, to be able to accept the proposals of the interested parties alone, in order to avoid doubts or misinterpretations among those involved.
The only condition for granting our shares to persons of natural or legal origin is the choice of credible investors who can cover all current and regulated obligations of AEL FC, with the provision of serious guarantees in advance.
Any other extension beyond 28 June to show interest calls into question the registration of AEL in SL2, as the remaining time is very specific and the overall needs of the group are pressing. After our historical move today, the circle of the Davelis family's contribution to AEL is finally closed and we hope that the right administrative continuity for the Larissa team will arise immediately.
This decision, from now on, has become necessary, with the sole incentive to save the group from serious risks. In the present and future of AEL there are no speculators or speculators, which this administration has flagged and acted in the last four years.
We leave rich in experiences and emotions, holding forever in our hearts a special piece for the queen of the Thessalian plain. We will be next to each successive situation once asked, firmly believing that all past administrations have offered much and made their own respective sacrifices.
Today in Larissa we prove that the idea and ideals of AEL are neither sold nor purchased, simply granted to the most appropriate when this is imposed.
Only in this way will our group be able to hope seriously for its future.
We wish that best in AEL with the galloping of the victory horse being heard over time in Greek territory.".
