‘Tragic and sudden death': UC Berkeley professor slain in Greece while visiting family
A UC Berkeley business professor was shot and killed in Greece this month while visiting family, according to his brother and international media reports. Przemyslaw Jeziorski, 43, was slain on July 4 in Agia Paraskevi, a suburb of Athens, as he approached the home where his children lived. Jeziorski's assailant, described as a masked man, fled on foot, and police arrived at the scene soon after. On a WhyDonate, a European fundraising platform similar to GoFundMe, Jeziorski's brother called him 'the victim of a terrible crime' whose perpetrator remains at large. 'Our family is heartbroken, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that justice is served,' Lukasz Jeziorski wrote, describing his brother as 'a loving father to two young children and a beloved professor' at Berkeley, and a 'leading scholar in marketing science, industrial organization and data analytics.' The brother wrote that his family is raising money for legal fees and to transfer Jeziorski's remains to Poland. On his Facebook page, Lukasz Jeziorski said his brother's killing had taken place just a month after their father's death on June 4. 'We barely started to get over it,' he wrote, 'and already on July 4th another tragedy occurred.' According to a report on the Polish news site TVP World, Jeziorski had two children with his ex-wife, a Greek woman he had met in the U.S. He had traveled to Greece to attend a hearing concerning the custody of his children, according to reports, leading to speculation that the shooting was a contract killing. In response to the tragedy, Haas School of Business Dean Jennifer Chatman released a statement calling Jeziorski a 'beloved member' of the school's marketing faculty. 'I am heartbroken by the tragic and sudden death of Professor Przemyslaw Jeziorski,' Chatman said in a statement to the Daily Californian. 'While authorities are investigating what happened, our immediate focus is on supporting our community during this difficult period. My heart goes out to Przemek's family and loved ones. We will miss him.' The school did not immediately respond to a Chronicle request for comment. The killing prompted colleagues to post memorials on social media, including one from longtime friend Olga Adamkiewicz, who said she'd known Jeziorski for nearly 40 years. 'When I saw the first text message, I thought it was some kind of joke,' she wrote in a July 8 Facebook post. 'In Europe, where access to guns seems very difficult, these are not the situations we are prepared for in the first place.' Adamkiewicz described Jeziorski as a man full of 'passion, dreams and with a head full of ideas.' 'His scientific career speaks for itself,' she wrote. A Polish national, Jeziorski, who went by 'Przemek,' studied at the Warsaw School of Economics, where he obtained his bachelor's degree in economics. Jeziorski then studied at the University of Arizona and the University of Chicago, and obtained a doctorate in economics from Stanford University in 2010, according to his curriculum vitae. He went on to teach at the University of Arizona and Johns Hopkins University before returning to Berkeley's Haas School of Business as a marketing professor in 2018, according to his CV. Jeziorski also co-created Keybee, an app connecting owners of short-term rental properties with service providers.

Colombian authorities arrest alleged leader of Italian mafia in Latin America
BOGOTA, Colombia -- Colombian authorities said Friday they captured an alleged leader of the Italian 'ndrangheta mafia in Latin America who is accused of overseeing cocaine shipments and managing illegal trafficking routes to Europe. Police identified the suspect as Giuseppe Palermo, also known as 'Peppe,' an Italian who was wanted under an Interpol red notice, which called for his arrest in 196 countries. He was apprehended on the street in Colombia's capital Bogota during a coordinated operation between Colombian, Italian and British authorities, as well as Europol, the European Union's law enforcement agency, according to an official report. Palermo is believed to be part of 'one of the most tightly knit cells' of the 'ndrangheta mafia, said Carlos Fernando Triana, head of the Colombian police, in a message posted on X. The 'ndrangheta, one of Italy's most powerful and secretive criminal organizations, has extended its influence abroad and is widely accused of importing cocaine into Europe. The suspect 'not only led the purchase of large shipments of cocaine in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, but also controlled the maritime and land routes used to transport the drugs to European markets,' Triana added. Illegal cocaine production reached 3,708 tons in 2023, an increase of nearly 34% from the previous year, driven mainly by the expansion of coca leaf cultivation in Colombia, according to the United Nations.

France opens criminal probe into X algorithms under Musk
A French prosecutor has opened a criminal investigation into X and Elon Musk, on accusations of 'creating bias in France's democratic debate.' This comes after Musk's AI company, xAi, deleted multiple posts from its chatbot Grok that included antisemitic comments. Among them, Grok called itself 'MechaHitler' and insinuated that the Jewish people were controlling Hollywood. On Thursday, French parliamentarian Thierry Sother and EU representative Pierre Jouvet asked Arcom, France's digital content regulator, to look into Grok's behavior. 'Since the July 4th update, Grok has substantially changed behaviors leading it to comment antisemitic ideas, to praise Hitler and even to support Le Pen,' said Sother to French media Libération. X has not immediate responded to requests for comment. X and Elon Musk have been on French and European radars since January when Eric Bothorel, a French parliamentarian, raised concerns over X's use of personal data, a biased algorithm and the reduction of diversity in posts. He also denounced Elon Musk's personal interference within the platform, calling a 'a true danger and a threat for our democracies,' according to Libération. On top of this, the European Union has been investigating X for two years on accusations it breached the EU's platform regulation law, the Digital Service Act. The E.U. fined Apple and Meta $800 million in April over antitrust rules.
