Marathonas

The family of a victim who died in a deadly blaze that destroyed eastern Attica last summer will submit on Thursday a lawsuit against state entities seeking damages for emotional distress, the lawfirm that represents the family said Wednesday.

Police on Wednesday arrested a man suspected of multiple acts of arson in the municipality of Marathonas, in east Attica, the fire service said in a press release.

The 35-year-old man is accused of setting five fires in land plots in the area of Rizari between July 26 and 31 and for disobedience towards authorities.
