A respected California professor was gunned down while visiting his children in Greece—and now police say it was all part of a chilling murder plot allegedly orchestrated by his ex-wife.
Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a 43-year-old business and marketing professor at UC Berkeley, was shot and killed on July 4 in Agia Paraskevi, a suburb of Athens. He had traveled to Greece for a custody hearing and to see his children, who were in the care of his ex-wife at the time.
Now, Greek authorities have arrested five people—including Jeziorski’s ex-wife, her boyfriend, and a minor—in connection with the slaying. According to multiple outlets, the woman’s boyfriend has confessed, claiming he carried out the murder on her orders.
“I made the decision to end this torment we were experiencing once and for all,” he allegedly told police. He claimed the couple feared Jeziorski would gain custody of the children and remove them from Greece.
According to his confession, the boyfriend waited in ambush with the help of three accomplices who drove him to the location. “I approached him and shot him a few times, but I don’t remember how many,” he allegedly said.
While the boyfriend and others reportedly confessed to their roles, Jeziorski’s ex-wife maintains her innocence, despite facing mounting suspicion.
Court documents reveal that Jeziorski had filed for a restraining order against his ex-wife prior to the trip. He alleged her boyfriend physically assaulted him twice during custody exchanges and accused his ex of using those encounters to intimidate him.
The brutal killing of Jeziorski has rocked both the academic community in California and his native Poland. Colleagues describe him as a devoted professor and father. “If there is any consolation in these moments, it’s knowing the lasting impact that he left on so many people’s lives,” said UC Berkeley professor Zsolt Katona.
Jeziorski’s family has launched a fundraiser to cover the costs of returning his body to Poland for burial.
The investigation is still ongoing, and Greek law currently restricts the release of the suspects’ names to the public.
