The wife of slain gangster John Macris now fears for her life after his brutal assassination in Greece and is desperate to move to Australia.

Former Playmate model Viktoria Karida has confided in friends she wants to leave Europe and take her young children to her husband's homeland, according to The Daily Telegraph.

The couple had a daughter, Alexandra, and son Achilles, together, with Ms Karida and her children now reportedly in hiding following her husband's execution.

Macris, 46, was shot dead outside his villa in Athens, the Greek capital, last month in what police call 'a mafia-style, contract killing'.

Chilling new stills released by Greek authorities on Sunday show Macris as he was ambushed by a gunman outside his villa in Athens

Greek authorities on Sunday released chilling new stills which showed the shock and horror on the face of the Sydney gangster as he was ambushed by a gunman.

The grainy pictures of Macris, an underworld figure, are part of a four-minute-long video captured from the convicted drug dealer's home security cameras during the deadly attack shortly after 9pm on October 31.

Footage initially released by authorities last week did not feature Macris.

But images leaked to Athens newspaper, To Ethnos, showed Macris as he maneuvered out of his black Smart car, moments after being attacked by the gunman wearing a dark baseball cap and grey-and-and-black wind breaker.

After the first round of fire, Macris got out of his car and tried to escape but the assassin kept shooting.

Authorities have not identified the tall non-descript assassin but they believe he was wearing a silicone mask and police believe was likely hired from abroad for the contract killing.

The ambush lasted five seconds, when Macris was heading to the opening of his new business venture, a security and cleaning services company.

Macris was shot four times with a 9mm handgun, according to police, with witnesses reportedly hearing the gunman yelling 'I'm going to finish him off' in Greek.

Ms Karyda was on the catwalk of an Athens fashion show when she was notified of her husband's sudden death.

Both their children were home in Voula, south of Athens, at the time of the shooting.

In her testimony, Ms Karyda said she was unaware of any threats her husband may have received.

But investigators now suspect the hit may have been linked to a new business venture Macris had started on the glitzy island of Mykonos.

'He wanted to achieve a lot. He wanted his security company to have the island's top clients, to clinch the top deals,' a police investigator cited by Ethnos said.

'He was very ambitious. But he entered unfriendly waters and his grandiose designs unnerved even more powerful competitors.'

Relatives of Macris said he came to Greece to lead a new, low key life.

But Macris and his wife enjoyed a rich and lavish lifestyle that quickly gained them celebrity status, especially on Mykonos where they were married three years ago.

The convicted drug criminal owned a fleet of luxury cars, including a white Lamborghini and Range Rover jeep.

His expensive, star-studded wedding featured on the cover of Greece's glossy cosmopolitan magazines.

And his obsession, next to partying at leading nightclubs in Athens and Mykonos, included collecting luxury wristwatches, each priced at about $30,000.

Despite ongoing probes in Athens and Mykonos, authorities are not ruling out links between the deadly attack in Greece and Mr Macris' criminal past in Australia.

A funeral for Macris was held in Athens last week, before his body was flown back to Australia where he was laid to rest at Sydney's Rookwood Cemetery.
