Woman extradited from London over 2010 Marfin Bank arson

A 46-year-old woman was extradited to Greece from London on August 6, 2026, to face charges in connection with the 2010 fatal arson attack on a Marfin Bank branch in Athens. The tragedy, which resulted in the death of three people, including a pregnant woman, has remained a significant subject of judicial investigation for years. The suspect was arrested at Gatwick Airport on July 13 following the issuance of an Interpol Red Notice by Greek authorities and has consistently denied any involvement in the crime.

Following her arrival in Athens, the woman was held at the GADA headquarters and scheduled for an appearance before a prosecutor to formalize charges and execute an arrest warrant. She is expected to be presented to an examining magistrate, where she will likely request additional time to prepare her defense. The legal proceedings are part of an ongoing effort to hold individuals accountable for the 2010 events. Two 42-year-old men are already in custody regarding this case, both of whom have also denied the charges against them. Authorities confirm that investigations remain active as they work to identify and apprehend all other participants involved in the attack.
