Greek Police Apprehend Israeli Fugitive Linked to Bomb Attack

Greek authorities have arrested a 36-year-old Israeli fugitive wanted for robbery and under investigation for a bomb attack in Israel. The arrest followed a tip-off by Israeli authorities and Interpol's notice about his forged passport. The man is now detained in Greece.

Greek authorities have successfully detained a 36-year-old Israeli fugitive who was previously convicted of robbery and is currently under investigation for a bomb attack in Israel, following information received from Israeli authorities.

According to a police statement, the fugitive was found with a forged passport and had entered Greece on July 20. A 'red notice' issued by Interpol on August 5 alerted Greek police to his whereabouts. He was apprehended near a synagogue in central Athens just a day later.

The individual has since appeared before Greek prosecutors, who have ordered his continued detention as further investigations proceed.
