He was arrested off an Athens street by a police counter-terrorism squad and was reportedly under surveillance.

Earlier, two of the most recent suspects arrested in the ongoing investigation, Nikos Papanastasiou and Patroklos Tselentis, were led to a specially renovated maximum security cellblock at Korydallos Prison.
