Far-right knife attack in Elefsina

Overview

In Elefsina, two suspects, aged 22 and 18, surrendered to authorities following a violent knife attack on a 32-year-old man. The victim, who identifies with the political left, sustained serious leg injuries while walking his dogs. Investigators are treating the incident as a politically motivated assault.

During the attack, witnesses reported the use of extremist language, including one individual shouting ‘I am a fascist’ and others telling the victim, ‘we are the bosses here’ or ‘we are the commandos here.’

Police searches of the suspects' residences led to the seizure of various weapons and extremist materials. Recovered items included stiletto and butterfly knives, a brass knuckle, balaclavas, a gas mask, and a flashbang. Authorities also confiscated nationalist literature, such as a book titled ‘National Socialism,’ and materials associated with groups including ‘propatria’ and the ‘Autonomous Nationalist Youth of Athens.’

The 22-year-old and 18-year-old suspects face charges of attempted murder, along with weapons possession and illegal carry.
