True Crimes - 🔍 June 29, 2002, 10:25 PM. Port of Piraeus. A bomb explodes prematurely in a man's hands, and within seconds, a secret that Greek authorities had been trying to unravel for 27 years begins to unravel. The critically injured man is Savvas Xiros, and the incident marks the beginning of the end for the "17 November" organization.

In this video, we follow the events of those weeks step by step: the initial hours in the hospital, the evidence uncovered by the authorities, the statements later disputed by Xiros himself, the arrests, the hideouts, the organization's 23 victims, and the journey of Dimitris Koufontinas leading up to his surrender at GADA (Athens Police Headquarters). This video is based on archival reports, official Hellenic Police material, court reporting, and international sources. Where conflicting accounts or subsequent claims exist, they are presented as such rather than as verified facts.
