A raid was carried out on the cell of a convicted robber whose group the 39-year-old woman—who died in the Thessaloniki bomb explosion—is believed to have been associated with. The raid took place on Sunday (May 4) by officers of the Hellenic Police (EL.AS.).

Police are trying to determine whether this individual or another member of his group was involved in the explosion that killed the woman. They are searching for her support team, as they believe she could not have acted alone.

In this context, raids were also conducted in the cells of other inmates—in the prisons of Korydallos, Corinth, Diavata, and elsewhere—who are linked in various ways to the aforementioned robber. This man is also accused of ordering and providing instructions for the construction of a letter bomb that was sent to a specific Court of Appeals president in Thessaloniki last December.

So far, the investigation has not yielded any evidence directly related to the explosion outside the bank in Thessaloniki.

Investigators are confident that the woman who died was acting as a “courier” and was not involved in building the explosive device. It is believed she was asked by others to transport it to the scene and detonate it.

Sources familiar with the case told protothema.gr that her movements, as captured on a nearby security camera, suggest she was under the influence of substances.

The most likely scenario is that the woman, under the influence of drugs, left the bomb in the wrong spot, detonated it, returned to retrieve it, and the explosion then occurred.

There is also an alternate theory: that she placed the bag with the bomb in that location to keep it out of sight while the slow-burning fuse ignited, planning to move it in front of the ATMs at the right moment.

The ongoing investigation may be aided by locating the individual who rented the apartment in Ladadika where the bomb is believed to have been made.

According to reports, this person is a drug addict believed to be homeless and is still being sought. “The tenant had been known to authorities but not for actions of this nature. We believe the woman’s mobile phone and the apartment will provide answers,” said police spokesperson Konstantia Dimoglidou today.
