Arber Bako

Arber Bako, the man who opened fire on a bar in Mikrolimano last month, injuring more than 10 people, admitted on Tuesday to taking part in another attack that led to one man being killed, sources said.

Bako appeared before a prosecutor to give his deposition after being arrested last week.

An AK-47 assault rifle that was cleared by forensic experts as being the gun used in an assault on a bar in the Piraeus neighborhood of Mikrolimano has been linked to three other attacks, including one which resulted in the death of a 43-year-old man in central Athens last month.

A Kalashnikov assault rifle recovered by divers from the port of Piraeus on Monday is not the one used in an attack on a bar in the port neighborhood of Mikrolimano last month, which led to more than 10 people being injured, police forensics experts confirmed on Tuesday.

A 32-year-old Polish man believed to be an accomplice of Arber Bako, who was arrested last week for opening fire at a bar with an AK-47, has been arrested.

Police said that the suspect was caught at an apartment in Maroussi, northern Athens, on Sunday. He is one of 10 people believed to be part of Bako’s gang. Two more were arrested last week.

The taxi driver who helped 31-year-old Arber Bako flee from a bar in Piraeus where he injured more than 10 people after opening fire with an AK-47 on Saturday morning told police on Friday that he was forced to carry his passenger at gunpoint.
