Officers arrested a 54-year-old man in the Athenian suburb of Nea Smyrni on Wednesday afternoon after they determined that an arrest warrant for fraud and forgery was pending against him.

The suspect, who was identified as a member of a family involved in shipping, had also been convicted to a total of 33 years in jail for the same offenses.

The 54-year-old was led before a prosecutor on Thursday.
