One more Croatian arrested at Ioannina, bringing arrest total over Nea Philadelphia violence to 105
A young Croatian national was arrested on Wednesday at the city of Ioannina, northern Greece, by order of a public prosecutor.
The man was travelling on a coach bus with fans of the Panathinaicos football club, all on their way to attend the team's match with Marseilles on Wednesday evening in Athens. The coach bus was stopped by police while still outside Ioannina.
According to police sources the man is suspected of having been involved in the violent clashes among rival footbal club fans (AEK and Dinamo Zagreb) at Nea Philadelphia in Athens on Monday night, which led to the murder of an AEK fan, 29-year-old Michalis Katsouris.
The Croat is being transported to Athens, where he will be taken to the Attica Security Directorate's Sub-Directorate for Combating Violence in Sports Venues.
A total of 104 people have been arrested for the Athens violent incidents up until Wednesday, with this latest person being the 105th arrest.
