Greek counter-terrorism authorities are meticulously investigating a series of arson attacks targeting three officials from the New Democracy party in Thessaloniki. The investigation aims to map the perpetrators' movements step-by-step, collecting security camera footage to trace their routes and identify those responsible.

Recent reports indicate that new evidence is shedding light on the case. As counter-terrorism officers gather video evidence, data is emerging that challenges initial assessments of the attacks. According to information cited by STAR news, investigators conducted a simulation of the incidents. By traveling on a motorcycle at the same times the attacks occurred, they gained a better understanding of the perpetrators' actions.

The simulation revealed a significant possibility: the final incident, which tragically resulted in the death of Vagia Nestora, may have involved a second group of perpetrators. This finding suggests a potentially more complex operation than initially believed. The counter-terrorism unit is currently collecting and evaluating all findings, systematically isolating information unrelated to the case.

This process requires considerable time and methodical effort. Despite pressure for swift results, the investigations are ongoing. The authorities are committed to a thorough examination of all evidence to bring those responsible to justice.
