Family of ‘gentle giant' missing in Greece appeal for help to find him
The family of a Co Derry man abroad in Greece have described their worry, having not had contact with him in 10 days.
Limavady man Aaron Fryer – who was described by his family as a 'soft-natured gentle giant' – had been travelling around Europe teaching English as a digital nomad.
During his travels, the 28-year-old travelled from Serbia to the Greek city of Thessaloniki on July 30 and intended to stay there for a month.
However, he was last heard from on August 5, prompting his aunt Debbie Caskey to contact police.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph she said: 'There is a Facebook page for him up at the moment to help find him.
'We least heard from him 10 days ago, which is extremely out of character for him. His two best friends would talk to him every day, and so would I.
'Aaron is digital nomad, he travels around Europe and teaches English via a computer. He is six-foot-five, a gentle giant. He is just a lovely person, very kind, caring and soft natured.
'When we last spoke, we were probably talking about football and how work is going, how my day was going since we are out in Spain at the moment.
'I am very worried, his father is deceased, his mother is very concerned.
'He had come to Greece via Serbia, where he attended a Greek Orthodox church. I have contacted Greek police.
'It is just so out of character for him not to contact us, his phone just goes to voicemail, there is nothing on social media from him.'
Aaron is described by his family as being six-foot-five with a strong stature. He has brown hair and may or may not have a beard, and he has no tattoos.
"Police received a report on Saturday, 9th August that a man aged in his 20s was believed to be missing in Greece,' said a PSNI spokesperson.
'The matter has been referred to Greek authorities and our officers will assist with any enquiries that may be needed in Northern Ireland. We continue to liaise with the man's family.'
Interpol have been contacted for comment.

PSNI warns protesters over Palestine Action support
Police have warned protesters carrying placards or wearing clothing showing support for Palestine Action at demonstrations in Northern Ireland that they may be committing an offence. PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Anthony McNally urged anyone taking part in protests this weekend in the region to ensure they act within the law. Last weekend, a 74-year-old woman was arrested for wearing a Palestine Action T-shirt in Belfast at an anti-racism rally. Palestine Action was proscribed by the UK Government in July, with the ban meaning that membership of, or support for, the group is a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act 2000. More than 500 people were arrested last weekend on suspicion of displaying an item in support of a proscribed group as demonstrations took place in central London. Mr McNally said: "The right to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are fundamental human rights. "They are protected in law and allow individuals to engage in peaceful protest. "However, these rights are limited by the need to uphold the rights of others, protect public health and safety, minimise disruption to normal life and by the need to prevent and detect crime." The senior officer said the PSNI would facilitate "lawful, peaceful protest". He added: "We will be in attendance at several protests this weekend to ensure the safety of everyone present. "If we identify potential criminal offences or unacceptable impact on the rights of others, we will take lawful and proportionate action. "If an offence is suspected we will record evidence eg by way of handheld or vehicle mounted-cameras and where possible warn persons suspected of committing an offence. "We may arrest and detain anyone suspected of committing an offence. Ultimately, the decision on whether to prosecute will rest with the Public Prosecution Service." Mr McNally pointed out that Palestine Action is proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000. He said: "This has no impact on other groups' or individuals' right to protest about Gaza, but anyone showing support for Palestine Action, including with placards or messages on clothing, may be committing an offence. "I would urge everyone to consider the seriousness of a prosecution under the Terrorism Act and the very real long-term implications this could have on their future." The 74-year-old woman arrested in Belfast last weekend was later released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service. She had been wearing a T-shirt which said "We are all Palestine Action". Amnesty International has called on the PSNI to "uphold people's right to protest against the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza". Northern Ireland director Patrick Corrigan said: "The police must be clear that they have obligations under the Human Rights Act and international law to facilitate the right to peaceful protest. "Carrying out arrests for peaceful expression on this issue would be a violation of international human rights law. "Instead of criminalising peaceful demonstrators, the UK Government should be focusing on taking immediate action to put a stop to Israel's genocide."

Photo of Kinahan bagman goes viral after he is wrongly identified as IDF general
The article is accompanied by a well-known picture of a hand-cuffed Johnny Morrissey being led away by police after he was arrested in Spain in September 2022 The well-known photograph of Morrissey being led away by police in Spain A photograph of Dutch police arresting an Israeli military commander for 'war crimes' that mistakenly uses an image of Kinahan bagman Johnny Morrisey has gone viral. The story has been fact-checked by news websites that found the story is incorrect and the person pictured in the piece is the wrong one. It was claimed that Israeli Major General Shitan Shaul, commander of the Armoured Corp, was arrested in the Netherlands on charges of committing war crimes in Rafah. 'Charges were brought forward by a human rights organization as he was spotted enjoying his summer vacation on The Hague beach,' the widely-reported story reads. The well-known photograph of Morrissey being led away by police in Spain News in 90 Seconds - August 16th The article is accompanied by a well-known image of a hand-cuffed Johnny Morrissey being led away by police after he was arrested in Spain in September 2022. Fact-checks point out that the photo taken more than three years ago predates the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. 'The image was originally published online to illustrate news reports about a suspected Irish gangster's arrest in Spain,' one fact-checking website reports. It adds that Morrissey, 'known as Johnny Cash for the wads of bank notes he carried with him, is suspected of laundering more than €200 million (£174m) for the Kinahan gang, a criminal network whose leadership have been in hiding from European and US authorities.' The article incorrectly claims this is Israeli Major General Shitan Shaul Fact-checkers also highlight the fact that in the photo 'the officer to the detainee's left is not wearing the uniform of a Dutch police agency'. 'Her vest is clearly marked 'Guardia Civil' which is Spain's nationwide police force. 'Behind her walks a man wearing the insignia of Ireland's Garda, the Emerald Isle's national police agency.' Morrisey was one of seven senior Kinahan cartel associates sanctioned by the US Department of the Treasury's (DOT) Office of Foreign Assets Control in April 2022. The Manchester native who was the Kinahans' alleged money man was arrested at his villa on the Costa Del Sol in September of that year. Authorities say he may have used the Hawala money transfer system to launder €200 million of drug money in 18 months. Morrissey was taken into custody and spent almost two years behind bars in Alhaurin de la Torre prison, Malaga, before he was released on bail in June 2024. Under the Spanish legal system, suspects do not face formal charges until their trial begins, but they can be held in custody as a person of interest. Described as a 'highly-dangerous and violent man', he is suspected of running the elaborate drugs-money laundering operation on behalf of the Kinahan Cartel, as well as for other gangs. Police say he was at the centre of 'the most important money laundering operation in Spain' and that €350,000 a day was washed through his organisation. The Kinahan organised crime group is alleged to have established ties with Hezbollah through the use of the Hawala system. The Shia Islamist group, who are classified as a terrorist organisation by the United States, have used the system in Europe to finance their activities and deal drugs. When the Kinahan cartel was sanctioned by US authorities in 2022, Morrissey was named as a key cartel enforcer who was laundering money through his alcohol company, Nero Vodka. The company, which was run by his wife Nicola, allowed him to present the image of a legitimate entrepreneur. The glamorous businesswoman was arrested alongside her husband in 2022 but was later released without charge. Hawala is an informal money transfer system that allows for funds to be moved through intermediaries known as "hawaladars', without the money itself ever moving across jurisdictions. A hawaladar in one country can take receipt of the money from one payer before contacting a hawaladar in another country who will pay out the equivalent sum in cash or goods to the payee. No documentation is kept or recorded and the system works on trust between the hawaladars. The traditional method is popular in parts of Asia and Africa, particularly among migrant workers who send money to their families. However, the informal nature of the system, which is untraceable, has made it a popular way to exchange money linked to terrorism, drugs and money laundering.

Premier League launch probe after Antoine Semenyo reports racist abuse during Liverpool clash
Play was paused at Anfield on the English top-flight's opening night due to the incident. Referee Anthony Taylor looks on with AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola and Liverpool manager Arne Slot after the game was paused due to a report of racial abuse The Premier League has said it will launch a full investigation after Liverpool's curtain-raiser against Bournemouth at Anfield was halted when visiting forward Antoine Semenyo reported being racially abused by a spectator. Match referee Anthony Taylor stopped play in the 29th minute and spoke with managers Arne Slot and Andoni Iraola before respective captains Virgil van Dijk and Adam Smith were called over to the dug-outs. It is understood police officers went into the referee's room at half-time, while an anti-discrimination message was read out to the Anfield crowd. A Premier League statement read: 'Tonight's match between Liverpool Football Club and AFC Bournemouth was temporarily paused during the first half after a report of discriminatory abuse from the crowd, directed at Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo. 'This is in line with the Premier League's on-field anti-discrimination protocol. 'The incident at Anfield will now be fully investigated. We offer our full support to the player and both clubs. Referee Anthony Taylor looks on with AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola and Liverpool manager Arne Slot after the game was paused due to a report of racial abuse 'Racism has no place in our game, or anywhere in society. We will continue to work with stakeholders and authorities to ensure our stadiums are an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.' Semenyo shared another racist message he had received on his Instagram account, accompanied by the message: 'When will it stop……' Merseyside Police said a 47-year-old man was removed from the ground and an investigation was under way after his identity was confirmed. Chief Inspector Kev Chatterton, the match commander for the game, said: 'Merseyside Police will not tolerate hate crime of any form. Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo celebrates scoring their second goal ] News in 90 Seconds - August 16th 'We take incidents like this very seriously, and in cases like this we will be proactively seeking football banning orders, with the club, against those responsible.' Sky Sports co-commentator Gary Neville said: 'It overshadows what should be an amazing night. First game of the Premier League season, a beautiful day, 62,000 fans in the stadium and that boy (Semenyo) basically has been racially abused and has had to go over to a referee to complain about it. 'I can't even begin to think what would be going through someone's mind, however it's happened and it'll keep on happening and it's a sorry state.' Fellow co-commentator Jamie Carragher added: 'A shocking incident rightly reported to the referee.' The incident comes two days after Tottenham's Mathys Tel received racist abuse online after missing a penalty in his side's UEFA Super Cup win against Paris St Germain. The Football Association said it was 'concerned' about the allegation of racism towards Semenyo and that it would ensure 'appropriate action' would be taken. A statement from the FA read: 'We are very concerned about the allegation of discrimination from an area of the crowd, which was reported to the match officials during the Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Bournemouth. 'Incidents of this nature have no place in our game and we will work closely with the match officials, the clubs and the relevant authorities to establish the facts and ensure the appropriate action is taken.' After the incident, Semenyo scored twice in the second half to help bring Bournemouth back from two goals down at Anfield before Liverpool went on to eventually win the contest 4-2. Cherries' Adam Smith told Sky Sports News afterwards: 'It shouldn't be happening. I don't know how Ant's played on to be honest and come up with those goals. It's totally unacceptable 'Something needs to be done. Taking the knee isn't having an effect. We're supporting him and hopefully he'll be OK. 'I wanted him to react because that's what I would have done, but this shows what type of man he is…to come up with those goals showed the type of guy he is. 'To be fair the Liverpool players were very supportive as well towards Antoine and the rest of the team. It was handled in the right way but…so angry. 'I don't know what else we can do. No one's getting it. I don't know what to say anymore. I just feel for Ant…shocking.' Liverpool issued a statement which read: 'Liverpool Football Club is aware of an allegation of racist abuse made during our Premier League game against AFC Bournemouth. 'We condemn racism and discrimination in all forms, it has no place in society or football. 'The club is unable to comment further as tonight's alleged incident is the subject of an ongoing police investigation, which we will support fully.'
