Woman's chilling Facebook post weeks before she 'got lover to murder her Berkeley professor ex-husband'
A woman appeared to brag on Facebook that she had chosen a new, better dad for her kids just weeks before she allegedly got her new boyfriend to kill her ex-husband. Nadia Michelidaki, 43, and her boyfriend Christos Dounias, 35, were arrested this week for the shooting murder of UC Berkeley professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski in Greece. Jeziorski was shot five times in broad daylight in Athens on July 4 near his ex-wife's house. He was visiting the country to visit his two children and attend a family custody hearing. Back in May, Michelidaki shared an AI image showing a man in a suit looking unhappy and surrounded by money. Next to him, another man is seen smiling as he holds a fishing rod and hugs his son. Michelidaki tagged her new boyfriend and wrote: 'When you realize that you picked the best dad for your kids.' The alleged killer and the beloved professor had been going through a nasty custody battle when Jeziorski was killed, according to police. Greek authorities said Michelidaki and Dounias planned the murder, and that Dounias was the one to pull the trigger as Jeziorski arrived to pick up his children. Two Albanians and one Bulgarian were also arrested in the case. They are accused of providing the murder weapon and transporting the gunman. Michelidaki's lawyer told CNN she denies any involvement in the murder. Meanwhile Greek media reported that Dounias confessed to the murder and said his girlfriend was the mastermind. Jeziorski and Michelidaki married in 2014 and he filed for divorce in 2021. They founded a rental property management company and were apparently also battling over finances. The professor had sought a restraining order against his ex-wife in May, saying he feared for his life, before he was killed, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. He accused Michelidaki of threatening and exhorting attempts and said Dounias assaulted him twice. 'She made me afraid of my life by having her partner, who is hostile and aggressive towards me, (present) during the visitation exchange, despite my asking her not to do so,' Jeziorski wrote. After the murder, the professor's ex-wife said she did not know of anyone who would want to harm him 'Przemek loved his children and fought for them until the end. He paid the heaviest price, unnecessarily, for this,' the professor's family said in a statement. 'This summer, he wanted to bring his children to his hometown of Gdynia, Poland. This death and the circumstances surrounding it remain impossible for us to accept, but we find some measure of comfort knowing that progress is being made toward justice, and that the kids are about to reunite with their family into a safe environment.' The former couple's two young children are now in the care of Greek child custody. 'Przemek's ten-year-old children, who are US and Polish citizens, are now under care in accordance with Greek child custody procedures,' Jeziorski's brother Lukaz said in a statement. 'Our primary concern is their safety and wellbeing, and helping them reconnect with their family to minimize the trauma they have already endured.' Jeziorski studied at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, the University of Chicago, the University of Arizona and Stanford University, where he got his PhD in Economic Analysis and Policy, according to his website. He previously taught at Johns Hopkins University and was a research intern at Microsoft as well. He's published in numerous 'top-tier academic journals,' and mentored more than 1,500 MBC and PhD students during his teaching career. He was also a co-founder of Keybee, a start-up for UC Berkeley's Skydesk, 'that provides a data-driven solution to managing thousands of short-term rentals,' including popular sites like Airbnb, Vrbo and Jeziorski also consulted with many big-name companies, including Microsoft, Mastercard, MIC Tanzania, and more. He lived in a $830,000 one-bedroom, one-bathroom high-rise condo in San Francisco, according to public records.

Albanian who battered man with umbrella can stay because attack was ‘one-off'
An Albanian jailed for beating a man so violently with an umbrella that it disintegrated has won the right to remain in Britain. Vangel Gkika, 50, served two-and-a-half years in prison for the brutal assault, in which he also banged his victim's head off a pavement. In 2020, following his release, the Home Office sought to deport him. But now the immigration court has ruled he can stay because his crime was a 'one-off'. Gkika, a painter and decorator who moved to Britain in 2013 and lives in Surrey, committed the assault on a childhood friend with whom he had a bitter feud in 2016. The umbrella was used with so much force it physically disintegrated before Gkika smashed his victim's head on the pavement twice. The man was traumatised and needed surgery. The case, revealed in court documents, is the latest in which foreign criminals and illegal migrants have been allowed to remain in the UK after claiming that their removal would breach their human rights or EU law. It took five years to reach the upper immigration tribunal, where judges ruled Gkika, who has dual Albanian and Greek nationality, did not pose a 'genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat' to warrant deportation. Court documents say the 'sustained and violent assault' came after his relationship with his childhood friend 'soured' in a bitter dispute, and the pair exchanged threatening and abusive messages. The judgment stated: 'He attacked him using an umbrella, which he used with such force that it disintegrated. When it did so, the [Mr Gkika] took the man's head and banged it twice on to the pavement where he had been standing.' The victim needed surgery, having sustained a broken cheekbone and scarring to his face. The following year, he was still experiencing dizziness and anxiety. Gkika had been due to stand trial in 2017 but pleaded guilty at the last minute and he was sentenced to 32 months in jail. The judge also imposed a 10 year restraining order which is due to expire in 2027. After he was released from custody, Gkika returned to live with his wife and children at their home in Surrey. But the Home Office ruled he was a 'serious threat' to society and sought to deport him under EU rules. Gkika appealed the decision to the first-tier immigration tribunal, but this was dismissed in March 2020. He appealed to the upper tribunal, where the judge found the lower court had made an 'error in law.' 'Significant' weight was placed by the lower tribunal on the fact that Gkika had not completed any rehabilitation courses in prison. But Judge Gaenor Bruce heard that no courses were offered to Gkika, who was a first offender and 'not deemed a sufficiently high risk to justify the expense'. Judge Bruce also said that in the earlier proceedings, Gkika was asked to disprove that he posed a risk - when this should have been a matter for the Home Office to prove. She added that for reasons that remain unclear, nothing further happened in the appeal until this year. Lawyers representing the Home Office spoke of the 'brutal' assault, and referred to witnesses who said they were surprised his victim had not lost an eye. Offender 'deeply regrets' his violence However, Judge Bruce noted that Gkika's children have grown up in the UK and are now either at university or college, and that Gkika 'deeply regrets' his violence, which was a 'one-off'. The judge upheld Gkika's appeal, meaning he will not be deported. She said: 'The offence was, on all the available evidence, quite plainly out of character and was indeed a 'one-off'. That is not to diminish the harm that it caused to the victim, or to in any way disagree that [Gkika] should have been sent to prison for a significant amount of time. He clearly should have been. 'The central question for me today is whether there is a 'genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat' in [Gkika] today being allowed to remain in the UK. There is no evidence at all that he is a risk to anyone other than the victim of the original assault, and in respect of that, the evidence amounts to this. 'I am satisfied that he understands only too well that any further offending, harassment or harm to his victim could see him facing deportation again, and the life he has built for himself and his family here destroyed.'
