Another arrest was announced by police in Athens on Monday in relation with an apartment explosion last month that left one man – the alleged bomb-maker – dead and another woman seriously injured.
The explosion, which left an apartment building in the central Athens district of Ampelokipi mostly uninhabitable, has been linked to the activity of so-called anti-state, anti-establishment terror acts in the Greek capital.
The latest suspect arrested was identified as a 31-year-old man with a police record.
Law enforcement sources cited by local media claimed the man’s fingerprint was found on a bag with weapons inside. The latter were found inside the apartment.
The man is expected to face a first arraignment before a relevant prosecutor on Tuesday.
Another man, 31, the injured and hospitalized woman, 33, and another 30-year-old woman have been arrested.
The trio face a bevy of felonies, including the creation and operation of a terrorist organization.
The hospitalized woman, who was found by first responders badly wounded inside the apartment, has denied the charges against her, condemn the publication of her identity and requested another week before making a formal statement before an investigating magistrate.
According to reports, she’ll remain under police guard at an Athens-area hospital until she’s able to be formally remanded.
The two other suspects have also denied any involvement in the bomb-making and potential terror acts.
