Greece: Anti-terror police probe far-right after rapper stabbed

Published January 13, 2015

The Greek government says the police's anti-terrorism division has been handed the investigation into the murder of rapper Pavlos Fyssas, blamed on a supporter of the far-right Golden Dawn Party.

The Public Order Ministry said it gave the order Friday, following the arrest of a 45-year-old suspect for the deadly stabbing early Wednesday, and a government petition to a Supreme Court prosecutor to investigate more than 30 offenses it says are linked to the party.

Golden Dawn, which has seen a sharp rise in support during the country's crippling economic crisis, has condemned the musician's murder and says it had no involvement in the attack.
