Nine individuals have been apprehended, three of whom are hospitalized, in connection with Tuesday's fatal collapse of a two-story building along the Akti Moutsopoulou seafront road in Pasalimani, Piraeus.

A 31-year-old off-duty special guard of the Hellenic Police (ELAS), who was participating in the construction work, lost his life in the incident.

Divisions have emerged within the Hellenic Police (ELAS) after the relocation in recent weeks to Attica and Thessaloniki of hundreds of officers, who are being paid an additional allowance of 4,200 euros per month, in an attempt to boost visible policing in the country's two largest urban centers.

The recent murder of a 28-year-old woman by her abusive ex-partner outside an Athens police station appears to have encouraged other women to come forward and to have prompted a more assertive response from the authorities.

​​​​​​The internal investigation of the Hellenic Police (ELAS) into the murder of Kyriaki Griva outside a police precinct last week has ascertained disciplinary lapses and criminal responsibilities of the officers that were on duty on the night of the incident on April 1. 

Far-right pundits persistently raise the question: What would have ensued if the police officer stationed at the Agioi Anargyroi police station had intervened with his firearm to halt the man who murdered his ex-partner? Let us address their inquiry.

"We have said that we want gun ownership for the Greek man, training for the Greek woman, for everyone," the leader of the nationalist Greek Solution party, Kyriakos Velopoulos, said in an interview with state-run broadcaster ERT, commenting on the murder of a woman by her former partner outside a police station. His party is on the rise in the latest opinion polls.

The funeral of the Kyriaki Griva, 28, who was murdered by her former partner outside Agioi Anargyroi police station in northern Athens on Monday night was held on Thursday in a climate of deep anguish and anger in the Church of Agios Nektarios in Ano Liosia.
