A 46-year-old woman, arrested on Monday, 13 July 2026 at London’s Gatwick Airport as she prepared to travel to Athens, has agreed to be extradited to Greece. She appeared earlier before Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London and consented to extradition in connection with the 2010 Marfin Bank arson attack — a fatal fire that killed three employees during a labour protest outside the bank’s Athens headquarters.
Extradition Timeline Confirmed
According to reporting by SKAI, the UK judge overseeing the case confirmed that the Greek authorities’ extradition request will be fulfilled within 10 days — unless delays arise from the Greek side. Following her consent, the suspect is expected to return to Greece within that timeframe and will remain in custody pending her arrival.
Background and Current Circumstances
The woman is believed to have lived in the UK for the past seven years, most recently in London. Sources indicate she worked at Gatwick Airport and was also active in photography. Investigators are now examining photographic material recovered from her devices, using artificial intelligence tools to analyse faces, movements, and potential links to the Marfin case. This material has become central to the ongoing investigation.
Next Steps in the Investigation
The coming days are considered critical. With the suspect’s imminent return and the scheduled appearances of two other defendants before the investigating magistrate, authorities anticipate new developments and additional evidence emerging in the long-running probe.
