Authorities have made a fourth arrest as part of the investigation into the deadly arson attack on the apartment building where the Nestor family lives in Thessaloniki.
He is a 27-year-old man who is reportedly active in the anti-authoritarian movement and, according to the information available so far, is said to have played a role in facilitating the handover of the keys to an apartment linked to the case.
Specifically, the 27-year-old allegedly received the keys from the 24-year-old defendant and then handed them over to a 29-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman.
According to authorities, the couple used this apartment as a base and hideout to plan and carry out the attack on the apartment building where Aphrodite Nestora’s family lives.
Four people were arrested
With this latest arrest, the number of people arrested in connection with the case now stands at four.
The 29-year-old man and the 26-year-old woman were ordered to be held in pretrial detention following their statements to the investigating judge, while the 24-year-old defendant was also ordered to be held in pretrial detention.
The arson attack took place in the early hours of July 1, 2026. Vaya Nestora, the mother of Aphrodite Nestora, lost her life in the fire.
The authorities' investigation is continuing in order to fully clarify the role of each person involved and to determine whether other individuals participated in the planning or execution of the attack.
It should be noted that the charges do not constitute proof of guilt, and all defendants are presumed innocent until a final court decision is issued.
