The police in Mykonos have arrested a 34-year-old Greek man, accused of stealing a Hermès bag and a Rolex watch worth a total of 75,000 euros from a 29-year-old Ukrainian tourist.

All eyes are now on the forensic examination in the case that has shocked the historic town of Mystras, near Sparta, after the body of a 90-year-old man was found inside a freezer in the basement of a hotel owned by his 55-year-old son. The arrested man claims his father died of natural causes around two and a half years ago and that he concealed the death in order to continue collecting his pension, but testimony from local residents places the elderly man’s disappearance considerably earlier, a discrepancy that is now one of the central questions authorities must resolve.

A 46-year-old woman implicated in the 2010 firebombing of Athens's Marfin Bank, which killed three employees, is expected to be extradited to Greece on Thursday, according to iefimerida sources.
