Two arrests made in connection with 2010 Marfin bank arson

Authorities have arrested two 42-year-old men in connection with the deadly arson attack on the Marfin bank in Athens, which occurred on May 5, 2010. The attack resulted in the deaths of three employees during a protest on Stadiou Street. The suspects were apprehended by the Organized Crime Division and were brought before a prosecutor to face charges of multiple counts of premeditated homicide. They have requested and received a deadline to prepare their defense statements before the 3rd Investigator. Additionally, a 46-year-old woman living in Britain has been identified as a suspect, and an international arrest warrant has been issued to initiate her extradition to Greece. Evidence presented in the case file allegedly includes video material showing the suspects with their faces uncovered, which investigators linked to the scene of the fire. Discrepancies exist between sources regarding the timeline of the investigation, with some reports citing sixteen years since the event, though the fire occurred fourteen years ago. The judicial investigation remains ongoing.
