An operation by police special counter-terrorism suppression unit (EKAM) had located the hideout of arrested terrorist Nikos Maziotis in Marousi.

An SMS message by a disguised police officer, who along with her partner pretended to be a “couple in love”, led to the arrest of Nikos Maziotis yesterday.

Counter-terrorism squad’s operation to arrest fugitive terrorist Nikos Maziotis did not take place by accident, Public Order Minister Vassilis Kikilias argued.
