Pargali Ibrahim Pasha was Greek devshirme.
Süleyman had married his sister to him; but Ibrahim Pasha was an ambitious guy.
Süleyman organized a chess game with him to put him on trial, he told words he shouldn't have told but who actually displayed his genuine goals (becoming Sultan).

Süleyman decided that Greek convert was threat and had him killed.
His two sons had also been killed in the aftermath so that none of him threatens the dynasty.

The execution of Pargali in the serie:


In reality, he was beheaded. Only people considered to have nobel blood were strangled.
That scene in the serie was probably staged by a Greek. Portraying Pargali as a nobleman from the family.
