[01] 3 urban terrorist suspects remanded in custody (ADDS)
Three out of four suspects arrested last week during the discovery of
an alleged "bomb-making" safehouse in the northern Athens suburb of
Halandri were remanded in custody on Wednesday, pending trial. All four
provided a statement before an examining magistrate, with all four
denying any wrongdoing.
The fourth detainee, Myrto Panteloglou, was released under restrictive
conditions.
Emmanuil Yiospas, 20, was remanded in custody after marathon testimony
that lasted well into the early morning hours of Thursday, while
Panayiotis Masouras and Harilaos Hatzimichelakis testified on Thursday
afternoon and were later jailed.
Authorities have linked the suspects to the particularly active
"Conspiracy of Fire Cells" urban terrorist group, described as an
anti-state anarchist cell.
The four have been indicted on several counts of felony and
misdemeanour charges, including participation in a criminal
organisation, procurement and possession of explosive materials, two
counts of causing explosions and thus endangering human lives, grand
larceny, violation of the law on explosives and procurement and
possession of narcotic substances for own use.
