March 20, 2020
Greek police on Friday said 11 people had been arrested as suspected members of a Turkish far-left extremist group after a raid on hideouts found heavy weaponry in a tunnel.
A police statement said the “foreign” suspects will be arraigned as members of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Army-Front (DHKP-C), a far-left group active in Turkey.
The arrests took place after raids on Thursday at a house and a flat in the Athens districts of Sepolia and Exarchia.
At the Sepolia residence, police found two anti-tank launchers, a Kalashnikov rifle, handguns, clips and bullets hidden in a 47-metre (154-foot) tunnel.
Surveillance cameras had been installed outside the house.
In the Exarchia flat, police seized mobile phones, laptops, a scanner and other computer hardware.
