Panagiota Roupa

Three terror suspects who were arrested on Wednesday, and are believed by police to have been planning a robbery, were remanded in custody on Friday.

Three terror suspects who were arrested on Wednesday are believed by police to have been planning a robbery, probably on a bank.
The arrests were hailed by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis as a "great success."

Panagiota Roupa, a leading member of domestic terrorist group Revolutionary Struggle, was on Wednesday given a life term, and an additional 25-year sentence, for a car bomb attack outside the Bank of Greece headquarters in central Athens in April 2014.

Police bomb disposal experts defused an explosive device comprising a hand grenade on Saturday after receiving an anonymous caller telephoned a threat that the bomb would detonate outside the police precinct in Dafni, southern Athens.

The bomb was found in a bag that had been placed in a small park behind the police precinct. 

The mother of Panagiota Roupa, the leading member of Revolutionary Struggle, who was arrested last week, on Monday collected Roupa's 5-year-old son from the capital's Paidon Hospital where the boy was being supervised by a child prosecutor.

Authorities are expected to decide next week on the fate of the 5-year-old son of Panagiota Roupa, a leading member of the Revolutionary Struggle guerrilla group who was arrested in Athens early on Thursday.

An Athens prosecutor yesterday brought charges against Panagiota Roupa, a leading member of the Revolutionary Struggle guerrilla group, and a 25-year-old woman, of running a new terrorist organization.

Roupa and the woman were arrested early on Thursday in separate raids in two different suburbs of Athens following months of police surveillance.

Members of Greece's counterterrorism department were on Thursday questioning Panagiota Roupa, a leading member of the Revolutionary Struggle terrorist organization, following her arrest in Ilioupoli, southeastern Athens, early in the morning.

Greek police early on Thursday arrested a militant who was in hiding with her child and whose Revolutionary Struggle group has carried out more than a dozen armed attacks, including one on the US embassy in Athens in 2007.
