Hellenic Police, in collaboration with Swedish authorities and following information exchanges with the SIRENE Department of the International Police Cooperation Division, arrested two Kurdish nationals, a 55-year-old woman and a 37-year-old man, in Neos Kosmos on Wednesday.
European arrest warrants had been issued against them by Swedish authorities for murder and incitement to murder.
