Four of the 25 self-styled anarchists arrested in Thessaloniki - in relation to recent fighting between rival gangs there - were apparently released after testifying before an examining judge. Reports said that the suspects denied all the charges against them.
Earlier in the week, at least twenty-five people were arrested after police in Thessaloniki raided several occupied properties and hang-outs frequented by self-styled anarchists. The suspects were charged with forming a criminal ring, aggravated assault and grand larceny in relation to recent disputes between rival gangs.
