Greece police minister vows to solve 2010 deadly bank arson case
Greece's police minister Michalis Chrysochoidis announced on Saturday that the 2010 Marfin bank arson case, which killed three people including a pregnant woman during an anti-austerity protest in Athens, is close to being solved. Two men have been arrested in the Athens area, and a woman is to be extradited from Britain. The minister described the evidence as 'watertight' and said the law had been fully observed. The attack occurred on May 5, 2010, during a protest against austerity measures tied to Greece's first bailout. Police identified suspects using advanced digital photographic analysis and an anonymous email tip. Lawyers for the suspects have called the evidence 'scant' and 'unreliable'. Chrysochoidis, who was police minister at the time of the attack, said the case had left a mark on him and that additional suspects remain unidentified.
