How did the criminal network initially establish and maintain its influence within the Hellenic Police (EL.AS.)?

This criminal network leveraged connections within the Hellenic Police (EL.AS.), initially through an officer in Chania with whom the ringleaders, 'Lefteris' and 'Nondas', had prior dealings. These connections extended to Athens, aided by a relative of the Chania officer. The network collected money from businesses in exchange for non-interference, distributing funds to corrupt officers.
