The bank robbers of Distomo are hardened offenders who are involved in the murder of the 39-year-old police officer at a bank in the Holargos district of east Athens in April 2008, according to crime lab results.

Evidence has pointed to Giorgos Petrakakos, an alleged deputy of urban terrorist Nikos Maziotis, along with Spyros Dravilas and Spyros Christodoulou.

According to police, a “link” between “common” criminals and urban terrorists appears to be Vassilis Paleokostas.
