Greek police, on Thursday, released photos and names of nine suspected members of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) terrorist group, that were captured on Tuesday.
Suspects from the group responsible for bombings and assassinations in Turkey, were allegedly planning an attack during President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s visit to Athens, next week.
Greek authorities did not confirm the plot, but said the suspects were “not cooperating” with authorities.
The suspects whose photos were published in Greek media, were identified as Hasan Biber, Burak Ağarmış, Mehmet Doğan, Ali Gökoğlu, Halaz Secer, Sadi Naci Özpolat, Anıl Sayar and İsmail Zat. One suspect was identified either as Ergül Acer or Halil Demir.
Forged passports and IDs were found in the suspects’ possession during the raid, as well as bomb-making materials and guns.
A dozen supporters of the suspects gathered outside the Greek court demanding their release.
