Pola Rupa, a member of the terrorist organization “Revolutionary Struggle”, was released from prison.

According to Kathimerini, the Thebes Criminal Court Council accepted her request for conditional dismissal as she is the mother of a minor child.

It is recalled that in April 2021 her prison sentence was reduced for the bomb attack on the Bank of Greece in 2014, for which responsibility was assumed by “Revolutionary Struggle”.

Specifically, from life and 25 years in prison, he was eventually sentenced to six years and three months.

The 54-year-old Pola Roupa was initially arrested in April 2010 along with five other accomplices and her partner Nikos Maziotis for participating in the terrorist organization “Revolutionary Struggle”. He was remanded in custody in Korydallos from where he was released in October 2011 due to completing 18 months, i.e. the maximum time limit of pre-trial detention.

In the following months, Roupa and her partner were “present” at the 5th three-member Court of Criminal Appeals of Athens, where the trial for the “Revolutionary Struggle” case was in progress. In June 2012, however, Maziotis and Roupa did not present themselves as they should have at the Exarchia Police Department and returned to the illegality.

In July 2014 Nikos Maziotis who – like Pola Roupa– had meanwhile been sentenced in absentia to 50 years in prison for participating in the “Revolutionary Struggle” he was located in Monastiraki and arrested after an armed clash with the police. A few days later, officers from the Anti-Terrorist Service located the apartment-hideout of the terrorist couple on Ypsilantou Street in Pefki, but not Pola Roupa, who had managed to escape, taking with her her minor son, a laptop and a pistol .

Pola Rupa reappeared a year later, in June 2015. Together with her accomplices, she robbed the bank branch that operates inside the “Sotiria” hospital, grabbing 125,000 euros from the cash registers.

In a text that she had written at the time and later published on the Internet, had admitted that he had allocated part of the loot in order to organize the helicopter escape plan of Nikos Maziotis and his members “Cores of Fire Conspiracy” from Korydallos prisons, in February 2016. Rupa’s plan had failed as the pilot of the helicopter that had attempted to seize the 48-year-old had reacted by refusing to obey her orders.

The last “appearance” of Pola Rupa before her arrest on January 6, 2017 in Ilioupoli, she was involved in an armed robbery at a bank in Malesina in September with a loot of 180,000 euros.
