Rio de Janeiro - ArabToday

he discovery of a burned-out car in Rio state on Thursday with a body inside has sparked fears that it might be that of the Greek ambassador to Brazil, who has been missing since Monday.

Rio police were examining the corpse and scene but could not immediately say whether it was that of the envoy, 59-year-old Kyriakos Amiridis.

“The information that we can confirm right now is that we have found a car in [the district of] Nova Iguacu with a body and it is being investigated,” a source in the homicide squad said.

The source would not say whether the license plate of the car was from the rental vehicle the ambassador was using, nor when DNA results on the body would be back.

However a source in the Greek foreign ministry confirmed on Friday in Athens that the car was indeed the one used by Amiridis.

“It’s the car that the ambassador had rented,” the source said.

Amiridis had been on vacation with his family in Rio de Janeiro’s northern Nova Iguacu area since December 21.

He was due to fly back to Brasilia on January 9, a Greek embassy official said.

But he went missing on Monday night, after going out of the apartment they were renting and taking the car, according to Brazilian media. His Brazilian wife formally declared him missing on Wednesday.

The Brazilian news website published photos of the burned car found on the slope of a busy suburban thoroughfare. It reported that police “suspected” the body inside to be that of the ambassador.

The Greek foreign ministry had earlier issued a statement saying that after Amiridis was declared missing, “the full mobilisation of all the competent Brazilian authorities was requested.”

Amiridis was named ambassador this year. He had previously served as Greece’s consul general in Rio from 2001 to 2004.

He served as Greece’s ambassador to Libya from 2012 to 2016.

He is married and has a daughter, according to the embassy in Brasilia.
