Vacation photos unlock deadly Marfin case

Greek authorities have reopened a high-profile unsolved case involving the 2010 arson attack at a Marfin Bank branch in Athens, which killed three employees. Sixteen years later, two men were arrested and a third suspect was placed under a warrant. The investigation, led by the Homicide Division of the police’s Directorate for Combating Organized Crime, used newly analyzed photographs and video footage from the incident, alongside images found during an anti-terrorism investigation. These vacation photos helped identify suspects based on matching clothing and accessories. The case was moved from an archive of unidentified perpetrators to an active investigation, with enough evidence to justify the arrests.
