Alarms signaled at the beginning around 15.20 in the afternoon, as they were notified that unknown persons had sent to the office of the mayor of Peristeri, Andreas Pachaturidis, a flower pot with an envelope of unknown powder on it.

An employee of the municipality notified the Authorities and the Fire and Police forces rushed to the scene in order to proceed with an operation to collect the suspicious file and check its contents.

A special team of the 1st EMAK went to the scene in order to collect the file, applying the special protocol for the collection of dangerous materials.

12 firefighters with 3 vehicles and a special team of the 1st EMAK rushed to the scene.

It is noted that at that moment Mr. Pachatouridis was absent from his office at the town hall and he was informed by his secretary.

Shortly after 6 pm, an EODY employee received the file, in order to transfer it to a special laboratory for the analysis of the dust.

A little while later, however, it turned out to be a hoax, while the person who sent the pot to the Mayor was located and taken to the police station.
