Unknown assailants spray-painted a black Swastika on the Holocaust Memorial on the northern port city of Thessaloniki's Eleftherias Square late on Friday or in the early hours of Saturday.

Police in the Greek capital on Tuesday remanded three suspected neo-Nazis who were trying to hang two swastika flags at the historic Athens Polytechnic building.

According to police, the suspects were trying to attach the flags to the entrance of the university where a student uprising in 1973 helped bring down the 1967-1974 military dictatorship.

Some of the neo-Nazi symbols uncovered by the newspaper were apparently painted on the walls of the city buildings in 2015 or perhaps even earlier, with authorities for some reason apparently doing little to get rid of this graffiti.

A court in the Croatian city of Split fined the Football Federation and its director for not properly inspecting a pitch on which a swastika had been imprinted before an international match in 2015.

The five people arrested in a crackdown by counterterrorism police on Tuesday are believed to be members of the "sister" groups Combat 18 Hellas and Unaligned Meander Nationalists suspected to be behind more than 30 attacks, chiefly targeting anarchist squats and Jewish memorials. 

Swastika was painted at the door of the Polish embassy in Israel, BNT reported. Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawieckisaid that Jews also took part in the Holocaust.

The evidence against four young suspected neo-Nazis accused of bombing a far-left squat in Piraeus last August mounted following their arrest on Thursday morning.

An enormous swastika was discovered by construction workers at a sports field in Hamburg on Tuesday. Excavators were preparing the foundations for new changing rooms at Billstedt-Horn sports club when they unearthed a four-by-four meter concrete swastika. The sports club believes that this is all that remains of a Nazi-era monument which once stood next to the playing field.
