Two Arrested Men Taken to Prosecutors Over 2010 Marfin Bank Attack

Two 42-year-old men, arrested in connection with a 2010 Molotov cocktail attack on a Marfin bank branch, have been transferred to the Evelpidon judicial complex to face prosecutors. Police authorities allege that these two individuals, along with a 42-year-old woman, were directly involved in the assault.

The suspects were transported under stringent security measures, including bulletproof vests, as part of a five-vehicle convoy. The transfer from the General Police Directorate of Attica (GADA) to the courthouse was swift, taking only four minutes.

Outside the courthouse, riot police (MAT) were deployed, and heavily armed special forces (EKAM) were present within the vehicles carrying the suspects. Prosecutors are expected to formally charge the men, who are anticipated to request a postponement to prepare their defense and submit their statements.

The incident dates back to May 2010, when the Marfin Egnatia Bank branch in central Athens was targeted in an arson attack that resulted in fatalities and injuries, sparking widespread public outrage and significantly impacting the political and economic climate in Greece during a period of severe austerity measures.
