    [02] More arrests with "November 17"

    Another suspect by the name Pavlos Serifis aged 46 from Morphio Thesprotias is being interrogated by the anti-terrorist squad. Serifis denies all charges brought against him.

    According to the police authorities his participation in the terrorist organisation "November 17" has been verified by other members of the organisation, while his code name was &#8220;Nikitas&#8221; or &#8220;Vagelis&#8221;.

    Meanwhile, the prosecutor filed criminal charges against 37-year-old Kostantinos Telios yesterday, who surrendered to Thessaloniki police yesterday admitting participation in the terrorist group &#8220;17 November&#8221;.

    Telios is accused of participation in a criminal organization, supply and possession of explosives, gun possession, gun use, murder, attempted murder, and robbery.

    He later appeared before the examining judge and received more time until Friday to prepare his testimony. Today, to testify are also Iraklis Kostaris and and Costas Karatsolis.

    Yesterday, on the occasion of the restoration of Democracy in Greece, the Police Chief Fotis Nasiakos stated that the first target of the police was to arrest the members of the terrorist organisation who could use a gun, adding that the &#8220;brains&#8221; of this organisation were old and had no place to go.

    Today, Foreign Minister George Papandreou and Public Order Minister Michalis Chrisohoides will brief the European Union ambassadors on the latest developments on terrorism.

    In the meantime, the President of the lawyers&#8217; Association Dimitris Paxinos ordered a preliminary examination for the leakage of the brief.

    At the same time, the Press Minister stated that there was no connection between "November 17" and the Greek secret service and called on the New Democracy party to clarify its position on terrorism following its MPs&#8217; diversification of views on the issue.

    From his side, in an interview with NET 105.8, PASOK MP Michalis Neonakis stated that it was wise for everyone to wait and let the police do its job, adding that the New Democracy party should clarify its position.

    In reply, New Democracy spokesman Thodoris Rousopoulos described the issue of the disruption of terrorism "major and national", and accused the government of petty party games.

    Finally, during the annual reception hosted by the President of the Hellenic Republic Costis Stephanopoulos, the President said that the country is celebrating when the democratic institutions operate and the human rights are protected.
