Thessaloniki: Remnants of insulating film found in one of the incendiary devices

Authorities in Thessaloniki are investigating the triple arson attack that resulted in the death of Vasia Nestora, mother of ND MP Afroditi Nestora. They have recovered remnants of insulating tape from one of the three explosive devices used in the attacks, hoping to find fingerprints or genetic material that could identify the perpetrators. Police believe the attackers did not cover their identities at the start or end of their route and have already obtained video footage showing two individuals riding motorcycles involved in the attack. A third person, who rode a second motorcycle, is believed to have played a supporting role. The police spokesperson Konstantina Demoglou stated that there are findings from the investigation and that the same group likely carried out all three attacks, given the shared explosive mechanism and timing. However, the identities of the suspects remain unknown, and the possibility of more than three people being involved has not been ruled out.

Στη Θεσσαλονίκη, οι Αρχές προσπαθούν να ανασυνθέσουν τη διαδρομή των δραστών της τριπλής εμπρηστικής επίθεσης, η οποία στοίχισε τη ζωή στη 72χρονη Βάγια Νέστορα, μητέρας της πολιτεύτριας της Νέας Δημοκρατίας, Αφροδίτης Νέστορα. Η επίθεση, που συνέβη το πρωί της Τετάρτης, έχει ξεσπάσει συζητήσεις για την προέλευση των δραστών και την προστασία της πολιτικής οικογένειας. Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες, οι Αρχές έχουν στα χέρια τους υπολείμματα μονωτικής ταινίας από έναν από τους τρεις εμπρηστικούς μηχανισμούς που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στις επιθέσεις. Έτσι, η ελπίδα ότι τα υπολείμματα θα παράσχουν στοιχεία για την ταυτοποίηση των δραστών είναι υπολογισμένη, καθώς η μονωτική ταινία μπορεί να περιέχει δακτυλικά αποτυπώματα ή γενετικό υλικό.

Η επίθεση έγινε σε τρεις διαφορετικές πολυκατοικίες, που διαμερίζονται στην περιοχή της Θεσσαλονίκης. Σύμφωνα με τις πληροφορίες, οι δράστες χρησιμοποίησαν δύο μοτοσικλέτες, ενώ το τρίτο πρόσωπο, που επέβαινε σε δεύτερη μοτοσικλέτα, είχε ρόλο τσιλιαδόρου. Οι Αρχές εκτιμούν ότι η απόσταση μεταξύ της δεύτερης και της τρίτης επίθεσης είναι τέτοια που θεωρείται πιθανό να έχει αποτρέψει τους δράστες να μεταφέρουν έναν έτοιμο εμπρηστικό μηχανισμό. Ωστόσο, η αστυνομία αφήνει ανοικτό το ενδεχόμενο ότι μπορεί να συμμετείχε και ένα τέταρτο πρόσωπο στις επιθέσεις. Επιπλέον, οι Αρχές δεν έχουν βρει τα οχήματα των δραστών, και δεν ξεκαθάρισαν πόσα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ή ποια διαδρομή ακολούθησαν.

Στο πλαίσιο της έρευνας, οι Αρχές έχουν εντοπίσει υπολείμματα των εμπρηστικών μηχανισμών, που έχουν σταλεί στα εγκληματολογικά εργαστήρια για εξετάσεις. Στο πρώτο στάδιο των ελέγχων, δεν βρέθηκαν δακτυλικά αποτυπώματα, αλλά οι επιχειρήσεις συνεχίζονται για την ανάκτηση πιο συγκεκριμένων στοιχείων. Επίσης, οι αστυνομικοί φέρονται να έχουν βίντεο με τους δύο από τους δράστες, οι οποίοι είναι τα αναβάτες της μιας από τις μοτοσικλέτες που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν. Ωστόσο, στα βίντεο δεν φαίνονται τα πρόσωπα των δραστών, καθώς εκείνοι προσπαθούν να καλύψουν τα χαρακτηριστικά τους.

Η επίθεση έχει επικεντρωθεί στην ιδιαίτερη σημασία των στόχων της, οι οποίες είναι πολιτικοί ηγέτες της Νέας Δημοκρατίας. Σύμφωνα με την εκπρόσωπο Τύπου της ΕΛ.ΑΣ., Κωνσταντία Δημογλίδου, η έρευνα έχει προχωρήσει και έχουν κάποιες διαπιστώσεις. Ωστόσο, δεν έχει επιτευχθεί η ταυτ

Thessaloniki: A fourth suspect in the sights of the authorities

The police are investigating a series of arson attacks in Thessaloniki that resulted in the death of 72-year-old Vaya Nestora. The suspects are believed to have used motorcycles, which are likely owned rather than stolen. Authorities are examining footage of two of the perpetrators and have sent remnants of the explosive devices to forensic labs. While initial fingerprint tests were negative, DNA testing is ongoing. The investigation suggests that either three attackers carried out all three attacks or two separate groups were involved. Police are focusing on a group of around 30 anarchists linked to past anti-authority protests in the city.

Bias read (Center): The article provides a factual account of the investigation into the arson attacks without apparent ideological framing. It focuses on the police efforts, technical aspects of the investigation, and possible suspects without taking a stance on political affiliations or motivations.

Thessaloniki: The path of the perpetrators and the scenario for two groups

Greek authorities are investigating three arson attacks in Thessaloniki that resulted in the death of Vagia Nestoros. The attacks occurred between 4:18 am and 4:35 am, targeting residential buildings in different areas of the city. While the prevailing theory suggests all three incidents were carried out by the same perpetrators, police are seriously considering the possibility that two separate groups were involved. The attacks used low-power mechanisms consisting of a gas canister and a plastic bottle filled with flammable liquid. The first attack targeted a building owned by Zisis Ioakimobitis, president of the New Democracy board. The second hit the home of former New Democracy MP Sava Anastasiadis, and the third led to the death of Vagia Nestoros and injuries to four others. Authorities are focusing on a group of around 30 anarchists from Thessaloniki who have been involved in anti-authority actions in Athens.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of the investigation into the arson attacks, discussing both the prevailing theory of a single perpetrator and the alternative scenario of two separate groups. It does not take sides or show clear ideological bias toward any political faction, despite the fact
