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.

Sharif Ahmadzai, a 26-year-old Afghan professional boxer, is due to appear before an investigating magistrate Wednesday over the killing of British aid worker Elizabeth-Jane Ross, whose body was found stuffed inside a suitcase in a derelict building in Athens's Kypseli district. Mr. Ahmadzai denies killing her, claiming he found her already dead and hid her body to avoid being implicated.

Greece is accelerating its strategy of early public debt repayments, with two additional repayments worth a combined 4.7 billion euros scheduled before the end of 2026, following an initial transaction completed on June 15.
