The perpetrator, Giorgos Roupakias, 45, is under arrest and will be giving his deposition before a prosecutor in Piraeus at 9:00 am on Saturday, on charges of murder and violation of the law on arms.

Three more people arrested over the case will be led before a prosecutor in Piraeus

at 3:00 pm Thursday to give their depositions – Roupakias’ wife and a female relative (over charges of perjury and concealment of facts) and a representative of the local Golden Dawn office in Piraeus (over a charge of violation of the law on arms).

Meanwhile, police said that 34 people were arrested at antifascist rallies in the Piraeus districts of Keratsini and Nikea on Wednesday night – out of a total of 130 taken to the police station after incidents. The 34 were arrested for attacking police outside the Keratsini police station and will be led before the Piraeus magistrate probably today, Thursday.

In Thessaloniki, an antifascist rally resulted in police taking 37 people to the station. All except one were allowed to go. He is a 27-year-old arrested for possession of hashish, and violating the arms laws (he was carrying a penknife, a wooden club and an oxygen mask).

Earlier, police had clashed with participants in the rally, organised by main opposition SYRIZA and leftist groups, and dispersed them with flashbangs and chemicals.
