Three people arrested in connection with a July 1 arson attack on the Thessaloniki home of Afroditi Nestora – a New Democracy official and former parliamentary candidate – appeared before a public prosecutor on Saturday to face possible charges.
The attack killed Nestora’s 75-year-old mother, Vagia Nestora, and injured her father as well as two other residents of the apartment building.
The suspects are two men, aged 29 and 24, and a 26-year-old woman.
According to Greece’s counterterrorism unit, the 29-year-old man and the 26-year-old woman were identified through investigative findings and surveillance footage as the alleged perpetrators of the fatal attack. The 24-year-old man is accused of allowing the pair to use his home as a base of operations and hideout.
The prosecutor is reviewing the case file before deciding what charges to file.
