Conclusion of the Greek series Rififi

Overview

The Greek crime drama series ‘Rififi’, created by Sotiris Tsafoulias and inspired by a notorious 1992 bank robbery, has concluded its run on Alpha TV. The series achieved a 27.1% viewership share among dynamic audiences, with its final episodes airing between September 28 and September 30, 2026.

The plot follows Olga, an engineer who organizes a heist at the Bank of Labor by disguising her team as utility workers. During the operation, the team faces life-threatening risks when walls collapse while using a compressor. In the finale, the group successfully breaches the vault, securing gold, money, and documents implicating high-ranking political figures. As they attempt to hide the loot in an isolated warehouse, they are surrounded by police; however, the character Themis manages to redirect authorities, allowing the group to avoid immediate arrest. The conclusion explores personal resolutions, such as Michalis’s ability to support his father and the resolution of Olga’s arc.

Following the broadcast, actress Evangelia Moumouri discussed the emotional depth of her role as Olga, a mother seeking revenge after her child’s death. During an appearance on ‘Chamohela kai Pali’ on October 16, Moumouri noted that the role allowed her to confront suppressed emotions and personal wounds, specifically referencing a symbolic scene involving custard used to convey grief.

Actor Achilleas Zervas, who portrays the informant Themis, previously noted the character’s resonance with his own life, stating, ‘I am 1,000% expressed by the phrase, “I am a child of the hard knocks.”’ The production also saw commercial success on MagentaTV, returning to the top of its viewership rankings.
