National Defense Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos met with U.S. Ambassador to Greece David D. Pearce at the Defense Ministry on Tuesday, his office announced, ahead of an official visit to the United States on Thursday. 

Very few citizens have responded to a call by the Finance Ministry to designate a bank account where deposits up to 1,500 euros cannot be confiscated against arrears to the state.

The forensics examination of the police seems to verify that the two men were shot to death and then thrown off a gorge bridge.
