“The Legends”, the rock gang music authorities have been after for years, are finally arrested

For years, the rock gang “The Legends” have been something of an urban myth. They strike in the city of Athens, both during the daytime and at night, causing widespread concern in many areas of the capital.

Rumors of a tattooed redhead who breaks the law in support of her fellow women, had long been circulating police headquarters. No one had seen her but many had heard her voice through recorded messages or songs left wherever she had struck. Same story for the gang member who goes by the nickname “Makis the Funny Dude”. He kept changing his appearance so the police were unable to track him down.

The gang’s free rein has been halted however since, following a coordinated sting operation by the police, The Legends “were arrested” at 88.6.

From now on, Makis Papasimakopoulos, Pinelopi Anastasopoulou, Nasos Kontopanos, Giannis Kouloukakos and Giorgos Zervos will be confined to the studio where they are to serve their sentence and complete their community service, namely the musical entertainment of Athens audiences.

It is worth noting that 24MEDIA has taken full ethical and musical responsibility for the actions of “The Legends”, something which has shocked listeners throughout the country.

The radio “trial” of “The Legends” starts on Monday, 4 November, with the schedule being as follows:

07:00 - 10:00 Makis Papasimakopoulos and Pinelopi Anastasopoulou for a series of illegal acts against morning wakeups.

10:00 - 13:00 Music choices by the gang’s nucleus and mastermind.

13:00 - 16:00 Nasos Kontopanos, accused of dedications, contests and having a direct relationship with audiences.

16:00 - 19:00 Giannis Kouloukakos, with a list of criminal acts the most prominent of which are strong opinions and deep knowledge of events taking place the city, deep musical knowledge, and an even deeper voice.

19:00 - 22:00 Giorgos Zervos, the gang member that used to strike at night, with full knowledge of all nighttime aspects and what each one requires.

Case not closed

According to information there is a sixth mystery member of the gang, who is still at large, and whose details have not yet been made available since until now there had been no indications that the gang was larger than originally believed. The authorities are however closing in and announcements are expected within the following days.

Stay tuned for any new developments in this captivating case. Tune in to Legend 88.6 an a daily basis and follow the station on Instagram and Facebook for evidence and images form the action of “The Legends”.
