Eight people were detained by the Counter-Terrorism Squad on Tuesday, following a police operation that began earlier the same day in Attica, in connection with a terrorist group that has claimed responsibility for three bomb attacks and has levelled threats against judges.

According to police, another two individuals who are inmates in prisons are also being investigated in the same case.

During the course of the operation, police searched 10 residences and seized material that will be examined as evidence.

The case concerns the group “Sympraxi Ekdikisis” which has claimed responsibility for three terrorist actions, via a known anti-establishment website. These include:
– A grenade attack on the vehicle of a prison officer in Haidari in July, 2023.
– A bomb attack against a construction company in Kifissia in November, 2023
– A bomb explosion at a National Bank building in Petralona on January 25, 2024.

Police will make announcements after the conclusion of the operation.
