On September 26, 1989, Bakoyannis was assassinated by members of the Greek terrorist group 17 November. He was 54 years old.
Biography
Bakoyannis was a member of the New Democracy party, for which, at the time of his murder, he was parliamentary leader in the Hellenic Parliament.
On September 26, 1989, at the age of 54, Bakoyannis was shot and killed in the front entrance of his office by members of the terrorist group 17 November.
17N quoted: "We therefore decided to execute the fraud and robber of the people Bakoyannis. This gentleman is responsible not only because he stole the first 60 million of the founding capital of the Line, but also for the hundreds of millions he either stole together with his partner Koskotas for the increase of the share capital of the Line, but also for the purchase through Line of the Bank of Crete".
From December 1974, he was married to Dora Bakoyannis, daughter of Constantine Mitsotakis. After the murder of Pavlos, she passed a law prohibiting the publication of terrorist groups' post-attack manifestos in Greek newspapers. Dora Bakoyannis has since claimed that the bill was a mistake, and did not attempt to re-establish it after its repeal in 1993.
Dimitris Koufodinas, Iraklis Kostaris and Alexandros Giotopoulos were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder by an Athens court in December 2003. Savvas Xiros and Vassilis Tzortzatos both received 18-year sentences for the murder.
