Details revealed that led to arrest of two suspects in Marfin crime
Sixteen years after the tragedy, the prosecuting authorities proceeded with the arrest of two individuals accused of the triple manslaughter carried out in May 2010 at Marfin bank. The case had cost the lives of three employees, among them a pregnant woman.
According to information from Protothema, the investigation was based on a combination of new evidence and advanced artificial intelligence software used by the Hellenic Police. The investigative authorities managed to identify similarities and connect digital traces to the two defendants.
The key incriminating evidence that emerged includes photographs from the march and the site of the attack, as well as the presence of a group of twelve individuals who are alleged to have coordinated the action. Additionally, backpacks found at the scene led to identifications through biometric data.
Minister of Citizen Protection Michalis Chrysochoidis commented on the arrest of the suspects. "The referral of the suspects constitutes the pinnacle of democracy's victory against blind violence," he stated in a statement.
The Marfin case had caused shock in Greek society and had highlighted questions of police protection during mass protests. The new development is expected to bring to light further details about the motives and accomplices of the perpetrators.
The two arrested individuals face very serious charges for joint manslaughter and for acts committed during civil unrest. The judicial proceedings are expected to begin shortly.
