Four suspects remanded in custody; German national released

Four of the individuals arrested last Thursday on terrorism-related charges were remanded in custody after testifying before an examining magistrate on Monday.

The four are Dimitrios Fessas, Dimitrios Dimtsiadis and Haralambos Stylianidis, all 23-years-old, and Socratis Tzifkas, 21.

A 27-year-old German woman who also testified in the same case was released after the examining magistrate and the prosecutor could not agree on whether she should remain in custody. The issue will be resolved through a ruling by the First Instance Court Judges’ Council to be issued within the next few days.

The five face felony charges of participating in a terrorist group, committing terrorist acts and aggravated arms possession.
