The Extortion Prosecution Department of the Attica Security Directorate took over the case of the arson of a well-known restaurant in Nea Smyrni.

According to the testimony of a cleaning employee of the restaurant, which was completely destroyed, two or three people appeared suddenly, in the early hours of the morning, and broke a window and threw something inside, and immediately after that the fire broke out.
