THE ex-wife of a “murdered” professor made a chilling post weeks before she allegedly got her boyfriend to shoot her ex-husband.

Nadia Michelidaki, 43, and her boyfriend Christos Dounias, 35, were arrested for the fatal shooting of US Berkeley professor Przemysław Jeziorski.

Dad-of-two professor Jeziorski, 43, was heinously shot five times in broad daylight in Athens, Greece, near his ex-wife’s house on July 4.

He had been visiting the country to see his two children, as well as attend a family custody hearing.

A few months before his unfortunate passing, his ex-wife Michelidaki posted an AI-generated image depicting a man in a suit surrounded by money, wearing a discontented expression.

Tagging her new boyfriend, she wrote: “When you realise that you picked the best dad for your kids.”

Alleged murderer Michelidaki and Professor Jeziorski had reportedly been going through a custody battle at the time he was killed, according to cops.

According to Greek officials, Michelidaki and Dounias orchestrated the terrible murder, with Dounias shooting Jeziorski when he came to collect his children.

Three other people – two Albanian nationals and one Bulgarian – were also arrested in the tragedy.

They are accused of providing the deadly weapon and transporting the gunman.

Michelidaki’s lawyer told CNN she denies any involvement in Jeziorski’s murder.

Meanwhile Dounias is said to have confessed to the murder – but said his girlfriend was the mastermind behind it, Greek media reported.

Michelidaki and Jeziorski wed in 2014 before he filed for divorce in 2021.

The ex-couple founded a rental property management company together and were apparently fighting over finances.

In May, Professor Jeziorski had applied for a restraining order against his ex-wife in San Francisco, expressing concerns for his safety, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle.

Before he died, he accused Michelidaki of threatening and exhorting attempts and said Dounias assaulted him twice.

In one instance, Dounias allegedly knocked his phone out of his hand and, the same day, kicked and pushed him.

Dounias was charged with assault over these incidents from May.

Jeziorski wrote: “She made me afraid of my life by having her partner, who is hostile and aggressive towards me, [present] during the visitation exchange, despite my asking her not to do so.”

The professor had also claimed his ex-wife had sent him messages on Slack insisting she got co-authorship on his research and “threatening to ‘contact my colleagues and the dean of my department if I did not pay her money.'”

Jeziorski explained he thought Michelidaki was attempting to “humiliate” him “socially in order to control me.”

He added in writing: “Although I know her threats are baseless, I am still intimidated by her actions.

“Her baseless allegations will harm my economic prospects for employment and completely damage my reputation in the intellectual community, regardless of their truth.”

After the heinous muder, his ex-wife said she didn’t know of anyone who would have wanted to harm him.

Jeziorski’s grieving family said in a statement: “Przemek loved his children and fought for them until the end.

“He paid the heaviest price, unnecessarily, for this.

“This summer, he wanted to bring his children to his hometown of Gdynia, Poland.

“This death and the circumstances surrounding it remain impossible for us to accept, but we find some measure of comfort knowing that progress is being made toward justice, and that the kids are about to reunite with their family into a safe environment.”

The ex-couple’s two young children are now in the care of Greek child custody, Jeziorski’s brother confirmed in a statement.
