A 46-year-old woman implicated in the 2010 firebombing of Athens's Marfin Bank, which killed three employees, is expected to be extradited to Greece on Thursday, according to iefimerida sources.
The woman was arrested in mid-July in Brighton, England, where she has lived in recent years. She appeared before a court in Westminster, London, and consented to Greek authorities' extradition request, remaining in custody since her arrest.
She is one of three people arrested in connection with the 16-year-old arson attack. Investigators identified her largely through visual evidence, with her case considered the most difficult to build since it relied primarily on matching her body shape and hair to footage from the day of the attack.
The other two suspects, both 42, remain in pretrial detention. In ordering their detention, the investigating judge and prosecutor cited the severity of the intentional homicide charges against them, noting that police believe each played a distinct role in the attack without which the fatal outcome would not have occurred.
Judicial officials said the defendants' alleged conduct reflected a disregard for human life and a pattern of sustained criminal activity, concluding that releasing them under restrictive conditions would risk further offenses.
One of the 42-year-old suspects has been transferred to Nafplio Prison, the other to Malandrino Prison.
