Archbishop Christodoulos of Athens

Turkey’s Official Gazette – the country’s ledger of legislative announcements – announced the seizure of the assets in Turkey of Greek-born Christodoulos Xiros and Nikolaos Maziotis for their involvement in terrorist activities in Greece. The seizure is in accordance with the United Nations Security Council decision no. 1373.

Anti-terrorist squad officers on Wednesday arrested a 24-year-old Albanian in connection with a plot to smuggle a gun into Korydallos Prison, western Athens.

Washington on Tuesday continued to show its heightened irritation over the leftist Greek government's recently passed law to conditionally release disabled convicts, an initiative that could include notorious "November 17" terrorist Savvas Xiros.

Authorities on Saturday arrested yet another alleged accomplice of convicted "Nov17? terrorist Christodoulos Xiros in the greater Athens district of Galatsi.

A DNA sample of the suspect has reportedly been traced to genetic material found on a booby-trapped parcel mailed to a police precinct in the town of Itea, a tax bureau in western Athens and to a prosecutor.

Police on Friday arrested 15 suspects believed to be linked to a 54-year-old former police officer who is being investigated for his alleged connection to Christodoulos Xeros, the November 17 terrorist who was captured earlier this month after spending nearly a year on the run.

Convicted November 17 terrorist Christodoulos Xeros has been recaptured a year after he disappered.

Skai TV said that the Xiros was caught by members of the anti-terrorism squad near Anavyssos, southeast of Athens.

Xeros had been on the run since January 2014, when he failed to return to Korydallos Prison after being released on furlough.

Greek authorities have started installing surveillance cameras at guard posts outside police precincts and other facilities feared to be possible terrorist targets, Kathimerini understands.
