New shock for the Greek police and for the ordinary citizens is the explosion in front of the prosecutor’s house Dimitris Papangelopoulos, who is examines the investigations of the terrorist attacks in Greece. The explosion happened at 06:30 am this morning in front of his house in the Athenian suburb Ilioupolis, right at the moment when the night and day shifts were overlapping and there were no policemen. Experts believe that the situation around Papandelopoulos’ home was strictly watched by the criminals for days and they knew the region and the habits of the prosecutor very well. As a style the explosion reminds very much of another one – the one in front of the house of the deputy-minister of internal affairs Kostas Makroyanakis on the famous street Skoufa in the central neighborhood Kolonaki.
According to primary information the explosive device was handmade and put on the wall of the building. The ignition caused only material damages but two fire trucks were needed in order to put out of the fire. “For one more time, the government cannot manage to take security measures for its employees, who are facing great risk due to their job,” says a special declaration of the Prosecutors Association of Greece.
