Judges have ordered a second Egyptian man to prison in connection with an alleged plot to attack former Supreme Court Prosecutor Isidore Dogiakos with a grenade. The 35-year-old suspect, already incarcerated for murder and numerous other offenses, reportedly admitted to ordering the grenade's placement. However, he asserted that he was acting as an intermediary for another individual.

The accused claimed the order was for the grenade to be placed, not detonated, at a residence. He stated he was unaware of the homeowner's identity. This individual is currently serving life sentences and lengthy prison terms at Diavata prison for a multitude of crimes, including murder and robbery.

This development follows the arrest and imprisonment of a 30-year-old Egyptian man in Glyfada, who was apprehended with a grenade. Both men are now facing charges related to the alleged attack plot.
