New footage released of the 2010 Marfin bank arson attack

On May 5, 2010, during a large protest against austerity measures on Stadiou Street in Athens, an arson attack occurred at a Marfin Bank branch. Newly surfaced video footage documents the moments leading up to the incident, showing bank employees inside the building around 14:00. At approximately 14:07, a group of masked individuals detached from the protest and broke the bank's windows. Employees are seen fleeing toward the back of the building as the attackers threw Molotov cocktails into the lobby. The footage shows the interior filling with smoke immediately after the explosions occurred. The attack resulted in the deaths of three individuals, including a pregnant woman. This evidence provides a detailed timeline of the events that transpired shortly before the fatal fire took hold.
