He is a person with known anti-authoritarian activity who was arrested after his fingerprint was found in a bag found in the apartment on Arkadias Street containing a gun and a magazine.

So far there is no evidence directly linking Romanos to the residents of the apartment and given the fact that his fingerprint was found on a movablee device (bag), police officers are conducting an investigation to determine to what extent he is connected to the case.

Regarding his profile, it is worth noting that the 31-year-old was previously accused of involvement in the organization “Cells of Fire conspiracy”, however he was acquitted. He was also involved in criminal cases, as in 2013, he and three other people robbed a bank, in Velvedo, Northern Greece, resulting in his arrest, conviction and imprisonment. In 2019, he was released on parole and until yesterday he was never again involved with the authorities.

Four arrests in deadly blast

It may be recalled that so far the Anti-Terrorism unit has made three more arrests in the blast case. A man who, according to police sources, was allegedly near the apartment at the time of the explosion, the woman who received the keys to the apartment and the woman who was injured and is being treated in hospital.

The woman who received the keys to the premises was abroad and was arrested immediately after her return as an arrest warrant was issued against her, while the man voluntarily presented himself to the authorities on the evening of November 1 and was arrested.
