• Faye Bakoyiorgou Case (Athens, 2021)
  The brutal murder of the young pregnant woman was revisited due to Haris Veramon’s intervention. His investigation and evidence collection led to the arrest of three individuals and the resolution of the case. The Mixed Jury Court imposed a life sentence and an additional 22 years of imprisonment on the landlady for premeditated murder, human trafficking, dangerous bodily harm, and attempted harm against minors, along with a €7,000 fine. Faye's mother was sentenced to 15 years in prison for complicity in the murder and trafficking, and Faye's sister received an 11-year sentence, with a 5-2 majority acknowledging her adolescent age as a mitigating factor.

• Stavroula Gougoulia Case (Kypseli, 2023)
  One of the most mysterious disappearances in Greece, which drew public attention for a long time. Haris Veramon brought the case to public awareness even before it was reported to the police, prompting the authorities' mobilization and ultimately solving the mystery of her disappearance.

• The Resolution of the Jean Hanlon Cold Case
  

  In 2023, Haris Veramon undertook the reinvestigation of the high-profile Jean Hanlon case. Jean Hanlon, a 52-year-old Scottish woman who had been living permanently in Crete, was murdered in 2009. For more than 17 years, the case remained unsolved, with no one held accountable for her death.

  Following an extensive and methodical investigation, Veramon Investigations uncovered significant new evidence, which was submitted to the competent judicial authorities. As a result, the case was reopened before the Greek courts for the fourth time, leading to the criminal prosecution of a specific individual.

  After examining the newly submitted evidence, the Judicial Council referred the accused to trial. Subsequently, the Mixed Jury Court of Lasithi unanimously found the defendant guilty of Jean Hanlon's murder and imposed a ten-year prison sentence, taking into account diminished criminal responsibility under Greek law.

  The case attracted considerable international attention, with major British media outlets extensively covering the developments. As part of this coverage, Haris Veramon gave interviews to internationally recognised broadcasters, including the BBC and ITV, while ITV produced a documentary series dedicated to the case.

  This case represents one of our firm's most significant investigative achievements and is among the very few Cold Case in Greece to have been successfully reinvestigated by a private investigation agency, ultimately leading to a criminal conviction.

• Dimitra Zirda Case (Drama, 2015)
  Haris Veramon’s work brought the case out of archival status, proving it was a criminal act, not the suicide it had initially been classified as.

• Joyce – Timothy Radocic Case (France – Greece, 2021)
  Using innovative analytical techniques such as decoding engravings on the scene's surfaces, Haris Veramon demonstrated how Joyce ended up in a cistern in Kastella, Piraeus.

• Efi Tsichlaki Case (Rethymno, 2016)
  Through the documentary created on the case, Haris Veramon helped highlight the tragic story of Efi Tsichlaki. The following testimonial was given by Manos Athanasiou, cousin of the victim:

1. "To express my warm, sincere thanks to Haris and Alexis for their valuable help, for the fight they fought with me, for their courage and the incredible, hard work they put into promoting the case and honoring our Efi, to show the enormous injustice and shame we were experiencing.
2. To highlight the collectivity of this struggle and the titanic effort to vindicate the memory of our Efi and the fight against femicides. It wasn't just the "cousin" or the "activist" on his own. He couldn't have done it alone! With him were friends, acquaintances, collaborators, people who hardly even knew him, and yet each in their own way helped ensure the Greek public was informed and reacted to this mockery of a trial in Rethymno and demanded justice."

• Olympia Kirykou Case (Kalogreza, 1995)
  A 30-year-old unsolved disappearance case was re-examined by Haris Veramon, bringing to light unknown aspects and proving it to be a criminal act. The trilogy documentary on the case, featured on the "Traces in the Dark" channel, received rave reviews and thousands of views.

• High-Profile Cases
  In recent years, Haris Veramon has played a key role in high-profile cases such as those of Irene Mourtzoukou and Vasilis Kalogirou.

• Toby Sheets Case (Corfu – Mathraki, 2024)

  The case of American citizen Toby Sheets was assigned to Haris Veramon in May 2024 by his family, who reside permanently in the United States. A thorough investigation was carried out in Corfu and on the island of Mathraki, leading to the full resolution of the case. The FBI was also involved and reached the same conclusion as Veramon’s initial findings.
