Journalist Sokratis Giolias gunned down in GreeceHE WAS PROBABLY ON TO THE GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION WHICH LIES AT THE HEART OF GREECE'S RECENT ECONOMIC MELTDOWN.
A Greek investigative journalist has been shot dead outside his home in Athens.
Sokratis Giolias, 37, was shot more than 15 times in the Athens neighborhood of Ilioupoli, police said.
According to colleagues, he was about to publish the results of an investigation into corruption.
Police said they had not established a motive for the shooting, but did not think it was carried out by any of Greece's left-wing guerrilla groups.
Mr Giolias was head of news at private Athens radio station Thema FM, and wrote on a popular news blog, called Troktiko.
"Somebody wanted to silence a very good investigative reporter who had stepped on a lot of toes with his stories," said Panos Sobolos, president of the Athens journalists' union.
Greece's parliamentary speaker Philippos Petsalnikos expressed "outrage and grief at this heinous and murderous act".

I'm sure there is tons of corruption in the Greek government, but it's mostly a lazy entitled population that wont have kids that is the problem.
