Greek authorities on Friday announced that three people have been brought in for questioning concerning the fire set at a branch of Marfin Bank on Stadiou Street on May 5th last year. The fire was set during a massive protest against austerity cuts taking place in the city centre and caused the deaths of three bank employees, including a woman that was pregnant at the time.
No arrest warrants have been issued so far, with a decision on whether their detainment should be converted to arrests are expected when an examining magistrate takes their testimony. Meanwhile, police will conduct a search of their homes to seek additional evidence.
Earlier on Friday, police had sent a hefty file of evidence gathered over a year-long investigation into the fire, which seems to point to anti-establishment activists. This includes video footage from surveillance cameras along Stadiou Avenue where the bank was set on fire and also from an attack on the nearby bookshop Ianos.
