Who is the 36-year-old prisoner who ordered the terrorist attacks from Domokos prison?

According to police, the central person behind the attacks, which were investigated by the anti-terrorism service, is believed to be a 36-year-old Domokos prison inmate serving a sentence for armed bank robberies.

He has been known to authorities for at least the last decade and was arrested in September 2021 after a string of armed bank robberies, the latest of which took place on Mitropoleos Street.

At the time, surveillance cameras recorded his movements, and in fact the tattoo on his left arm gave him away. According to reports from those days, during his arrest he stated that he was “anarchist-terrorist”.

Robbery in Petralona

A few days after his arrest, he was identified as the perpetrator of the armed robbery of a bank branch in Petralona in August 2021. It was this bank that on January 25, 2024 became target of explosionfor which the Revenge Partnership organization took responsibility.

The acceptance notice stated, among other things, that “The key reason why we decided to attack this bank at 115 Three Saints in Petralona is the appeal of a fellow anarchist on 2/2/2024 in the context of practical solidarity. This bank was the first financial target of his action, in order to continue the conscious path of illegality that he chose, “knocking out” his license from the Larisa prison, without returning to captivity, with dignity deciding to continue on the path of freedom and armed struggle.”
