The far-right Spartiates (Spartans) party, which has been backed by jailed neo-Nazi Ilias Kasidiaris, looks set to cross the 3% threshold needed to make it into Parliament, with the latest exit polls showing it clinching as much as 5.6% of the vote.

An Athens misdemeanors court Thursday handed a two-year suspended prison sentence to Giorgos Karatzaferis, the former leader of the nationalist LAOS party, after finding him guilty of slandering Deputy Interior Minister Marina Chrysoveloni.

Unknown assailants used a homemade explosive device comprising gas canisters to cause damage to the entrance of a building housing private television channel ART in the Athens neighborhood of Kallithea in the early hours of Monday.

The device detonated shortly after 2 a.m., causing minor damage and no injuries, police said.

It seem unlikely that the leader of the ultranationalist Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) party, Giorgos Karatzaferis, will face bribery charges after it was revealed that two middlemen in an arms deal paid 1.6 million euros to his offshore company, sources have told Kathimerini.

A parliamentary committee investigating the “pothen esches” (declaration of source of wealth) forms submitted by LAOS head Giorgos Karatzaferis unanimously declared late on Wednesday that the former minister should face charges over money found in foreign bank accounts. The committee also decided that the case should be heard by the Court of Audit.

Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) head Giorgos Karatzaferis on Tuesday denied he was resigning from the party’s top position following allegations that payments of 1.65 millions had been made into offshore companies linked to him and members of his family.
