The report also confirmed that Kostopoulos was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he entered a downtown Athens jewelry store and was attacked by the business's owner and another man who allegedly mistook him for a robber.
Footage has shown the two men kicking Kostopoulos repeatedly in the head as he crawled out of the jewelry store through broken glass from a shattered display window. Witness testimonies and videos from the scene of the September 21 incident also pointed to him being kicked by at least one responding police officer as he lay on the ground motionless.
