At the same time, investigations by the Counter-Terrorism Unit are continuing in full force. Authorities are examining video footage, digital data, telecommunications evidence, and any other information that could lead to the identification of the perpetrators. So far, there has been no official announcement of arrests. Authorities continue to assess every new piece of evidence that emerges.

Afroditi Nestora arrived at the church by ambulance after signing for her discharge from Papanikolaou Hospital, where she will return after the funeral service to continue her treatment, as she has suffered extensive burns across her body.

Among those who have sent wreaths are the President of the Republic, Konstantinos Tasoulas; Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis; Parliament Speaker Nikitas Kaklamanis; PASOK President Nikos Androulakis; Deputy Minister to the Prime Minister Pavlos Marinakis; Minister of Migration and Asylum Thanos Plevris; Minister of Economy Kyriakos Pierrakakis; SYRIZA President Socrates Famellos; and others.
