In October 2023, Miami police mistakenly arrested deacon Georgios Zervos, thinking he was a squatter in a historic church, amidst a legal battle for property control. As Zervos protested his legal residence, church leaders discovered via security cameras that Orthodox Church in America officials were attempting to access the church and having his vehicle towed. The situation revealed the intense conflict within the church community and the extremes reached by both sides, culminating in a dramatic police intervention that left many questions unanswered and tensions unresolved.
"The legal battle over the control of the church property has escalated to bizarre lengths, with clergy disguising themselves and conducting questionable activities on church premises."
"In a dramatic confrontation, deacon Georgios Zervos was mistaken for a squatter and detained by police, highlighting the chaos surrounding the church's internal conflict."
