Following an order by the Athens Court of First Instance Prosecutor, the identity details and photograph of the 49-year-old philologist, who was arrested in connection with the discovery of weapons and explosives in a residential building’s storage unit in Pagrati, were released.

He has been charged, among other offenses, with the aggravated illegal possession of explosives, automatic firearms (submachine guns), pistols, grenades, and ammunition with the intent to supply them to third parties for committing felonies, as well as the procurement and possession of explosive materials, which could endanger human life, involving a significant quantity of the above items.

He has been identified as:

• GONIS Vasileios, son of Ioannis and Anastasia, born on February 10, 1975, in Athens.

According to the Prosecutor’s Order, this publication aims to investigate, detect, and prosecute similar crimes committed by the accused and to prevent any threat to public safety related to the above offenses.

In this context, citizens are urged to contact the Special Violent Crimes Division at 10414 and 1014 to provide any relevant information. It is noted that anonymity and confidentiality of communication are ensured. Police tracked down Goni by analyzing footage from bank ATMs, where he had deposited the rent for the storage unit.

A document connected to the JP Morgan bomb 14 years ago was found in the hideout

It is worth noting that in the storage hideout, allegedly rented by the 49-year-old philologist, along with weapons and materials for explosives, a computer was also found. A text file was retrieved from the computer, which appears to be linked to the responsibility claim for an attack on JP Morgan 14 years ago in Kolonaki.

Specifically, according to reliable information, during the investigation of a laptop found in the Pagrati storage unit, a text file was identified that directly refers to the responsibility claim for the attack on the offices of the banking giant JP Morgan on Haritos Street in Kolonaki. The attack occurred in mid-February 2010, causing material damage to the building. Prior to the attack, an anonymous caller had phoned the newspaper Eleftherotypia, giving a thirty-minute warning, emphasizing that “this is not a hoax.”

About two weeks later, responsibility for the attack was claimed by the newly emerged group “Revolutionary Continuity” via a declaration sent to the press. This specific declaration is believed to have been written on the computer discovered in Pagrati.

As well-informed sources explained to protothema.gr: “It is a deleted file that was recovered. The content wasn’t found, but the file’s header and shortcut were. It is a file with the same size, creation date, and time as the declaration for the attack. Analysis shows that the file was transferred from this computer onto a CD. The file appears to be the same and had the title ‘declaration.’”
