Authorities arrest 2 suspected accomplices of Xiros in Kalamata

Greece's counter-terrorism unit arrested two men in the city of Kalamata (southern Peloponnese), that are suspected of being accomplices of the recently recaptured (and convicted) Christodoulos Xiros (a former member of the notorious November 17th terrorist organization).

According to Greek press reports, the two suspects are a 37 year-old man of Greek origin and a 34 year-old Albanian national. At present they are being interrogated by the counter-terrorism police and according to the same reports will later be taken to the prosecutor, where charges will be addressed against them.

The same reports claim that the second suspect (or the Albanian national) appears to be the person who rented the home that Christodoulos Xiros was using in the area of Anavyssos (southern Athens) just before being recaptured by Greek authorities. It also appears that there were outstanding warrants for his arrest, following the investigations that took place at the two hideouts.
