Waqas Ahmed is a pakistani illegal immigrant who’s currently living in Greece. His name became known because of the events of the 23rd of July, 2012.

In the 23rd of July, 2012 a teenage girl was found half naked, beaten and in a coma, in one of the most popular beaches in the Greek island, Paros. The authorities ordered the girl to be transferred in Athens so that she would have the best of care and started looking for evidence in the crime scene in order to find the assaulter. In the beginning, the police started investigating in the prospect of an accident. Although, when the forensic specialist from Athens, Dr. Nikos Kalogrias announced that he had found semen over the girl’s body, the whole investigation changed its path.

According to the police report, firstly the suspects were 12 men, Greeks and foreigners, who either worked by the beach and the crime scene, or have been seen by witnesses in the area. Later on, and as the investigation continued, the suspects went down to 4 and finally police concluded, with the help of several eye witnesses, that the suspect was a man who worked by the crime scene. Specifically the mother of the teenage girl reported that she saw a man, who was wearing white trousers and a colorful shirt, walking away from the crime scene. Waqas Ahmed's co-workers said that he was wearing this kind of clothes the same day at work. However, he had already left the island, to go to Athens, because of some serious illness of one of his relatives.

A few days later the police arrested him, Waqas Ahmed, in Nea Chalkidona, Athens, along with two other illegal immigrants. They had found him through his mobile phone and the help of other immigrants. . The police compared the man's, Waqas Ahmed, DNA obtained from his saliva, with the DNA that was found on the girl's clothes and body. After the double DNA test, that had a positive result and thus validated the guilt of the pakistani immigrant, police interrogated the man who, finally, confessed his crime. . Waqas Ahmed, was really calm and emotionless while describing the chronicle of the crime to the police officers. As he stated, his first intention was to steal the girl's mobile phone but she tried to repel his attack. Then, he started beating her with a rock until she fell unconscious. While the girl could not fight anymore he raped her and then beat her again against the stones. .

After his confession, Waqas Ahmed was taken to the island of Syros where he testified again before the district prosecutor. While the police accompanied him from the ferry to the prosecutor's office, passers by were yelling slogans against him. Among the people, who were yelling, there were supporters of the Greek nationalist party, Golden Dawn. . As far as this yelling crowd is concerned, it is important to notice the impact of this crime to the greek society. Police, in fear of any reprisal actions, started an operation of localization of any illegal immigrants in down town Athens having as a goal the "cleaning" of the capital's center and the deportation of all illegals. The statement of Minister of Citizen Protection, Nikos Dendias, who stated that "the detention and deportation will continue until the center of Athens is "clean"", did not please the nationalist party, Golden Dawn which published the following announcement:

“Enough with illegal immigrants! The horrible crime against a minor Greek was committed again by an illegal immigrant. The need for multiple deterrence measures is immediate. Any crime committed by an illegal alien must be statutory. Whoever talks about racism, should host the criminals at his home. The only racism that exists, is the racism against the Greeks."

The defendant illegal immigrant is until this day trying to convince the authorities that he is a minor so that he can manage to be adjudicated by a juvenile court. He firstly reported that he was born on 1991, then on 1993 and finally he stated that he was born on 1995. His incosistency made the investigator to ask from the prosecutor to add to Waqas Ahmed's prosecution the false statement. However Waqas Ahmed did not change his attitude and continued lying having as a result, the court's judgement to be his imprisonment for 2 years.

At the same time his victim is still trying to overcome the attack. The teenage girl is now out of the coma and she is trying to regain her strengh and abilities in a rehabilitation center.
