An Albanian national with criminal precedents has been declared on the run by Greek authorities, after allegedly linked to the explosion occurring on 21 October in Athens’ Kolonos district, where two civilians and two policemen were injured.
According to Greek media, the event occurred when police intervened to check a suspicious bag, following an announcement by residents of a palace. During the search, one of the operatives allegedly accidentally activated an explosive mechanism, triggering the explosion.
In the bag, heroin, a scale, and a low – power artisan explosive device were found according to reports. As a result of the explosion, four people were injured and one of the policemen suffered severe injuries in hand and eyes.
The suspect, who reportedly was tenants in the same palace, allegedly left the scene after the blast, leaving behind his mobile phones. According to Greek media, he was sentenced in 2008 for trafficking 100 grams of cocaine and was released from prison in September.
Reports suggest that after the event, the Albanian allegedly returned to the apartment to pick up some personal items before leaving again.
Greek authorities are investigating the full circumstances of the case, including the possibility that the explosion will have links to conflicts between groups involved in drug trafficking.
The suspect’s complete identity has not been made public. Until an official confirmation, claims of his involvement remain at the level of suspicion.
