Well-known Italian anarchist Alfredo M. Bonanno and Greek anarchist
Christos Stratigopoulos have been arrested in Trikala, central Greece, on
suspicion of carrying out an armed robbery at a local bank. Police sources
definitively named the men as Alfredo M. Bonanno, 72, and Christos
Stratigopoulos, 46. Bonanno has served 18 months in jail for his essay
called “Armed Joy” and was also given a six-year term in 2003 in the farce
of the “Marini Trial”.
According to police, Stratigopoulos carried out the robbery at a branch of
Piraeus bank on Thursday. He forced employees to hand over 46,900 euros,
which he then apparently handed to Bonanno, who was waiting outside in a
rented car. A witness noted the license plate of the vehicle and informed
the police, who stopped the car on a road leading to Kalambaka. Officers
found the stolen cash in the vehicle.
Solidarity action - Freedom to Alfredo & Christos!
On Friday October 2 at about 8.15pm, a low-intensity bomb went off only a
few meters away from the podium where Prime Minister Karamanlis was
delivering his last speech, signalling the end of the pre-election period
(elections are on Sunday the 4th).
The “Conspiracy of Cells of Fire” claimed responsibility with a communiqué
published on Athens IMC. The writers of the communiqué deny the previous
police claims to have arrested 4 members of the organisation, whilst
another 6 remained on the run. The “Conspiracy of Cells of Fire” describe
the placing of the bomb in detail and send their revolutionary greetings
to Alfredo Bonnano and his 46-year old Greek comrade, Christos
Stratigopoulos, both arrested and charged with a bank robbery in the
northern city of Trikala on Thursday.
