A member of anarchist group Rouvikonas was arrested over the vandalism of the Parliament building earlier on Tuesday, when several hooded group members threw paint and smoke bombs on the walls.
The suspect was initially detained as he tried to flee after the attack.

A special plan that the Greek Police (ELAS) said it has for guarding the US Embassy and the adjacent residence of Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt did not stop members of the anarchist group Rouvikonas from vandalizing his home.
The attack, which occurred at around 4 a.m., involved 10 people wearing crash helmets, who lobbed bottles of paint at the walls of the ambassador's residence.

The Greek Police's (ELAS) security division has launched an investigation into last week's fiasco involving an assault by a crowd of masked individuals on Coast Guard officers in the anarchist stronghold of Exarchia, amid indications that ELAS had not been adequately briefed about the officers' drug-related raid in the area. 

The Greek Police (ELAS) said Thursday that it will look into why its radio communication network has malfunctioned, forcing officers to rely on analog devices.

In a statement, it said it will try to ascertain the causes of the problem from the moment the communication system was installed five years ago.

The story line is indicative of the failings of Greece's troubled state mechanisms. After five years, four ministers and one renegotiation of the deal it signed in 2014 to procure its new digital communications system, the Greek Police (ELAS) has decided to switch back to its antiquated analog radios as primary devices.

The Greek Police (ELAS) Monday announced the arrest of 14 suspects who were allegedly involved in a prostitution racket that employed women in their early 20s and at least one high school senior.

Rouvikonas taunted the Greek Police (ELAS) on Friday, claiming it is incapable of preventing acts launched by the anti-establishment group unless it resorts to unorthodox methods.

The Greek Police (ELAS) on Tuesday announced a successful crackdown on a gang of pickpockets who were active at the Larissis railway station in central Athens.

Airline companies operating in Greece will be obliged to provide the Greek Police (ELAS) with details of all passengers traveling in and out of the country for reasons of national security, according to draft legislation that has been prepared by the Citizens' Protection Ministry.
