From the first investigations, the matrix of the attack on the car of the adviser of the Italian embassy in Athens Susanna Schlein, "is anarchist".

This is what was reported by the Minister for Citizens' Security Panagiotis Theodorikakos to the Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi in a "cordial and constructive" telephone conversation that took place in the morning.

The Interior Ministry reports it.



Greece has ordered "enhanced vigilance" at the offices of the Italian diplomatic authorities after the arson attack on the car of embassy adviser Susanna Schlein.

Security Minister Panagiotis Theodorikakos said in a phone call to Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, assuring the "strong commitment" of the Greek authorities to identify as soon as possible and bring to justice the perpetrators of the attack.



The Greek police are investigating the arson that took place last night in one of the cars of the First Counselor of the Italian Embassy in Athens Susanna Schlein, sister of Pd exponent Elly Schlein.

The attack would have occurred around four in the morning: the car was parked near an apartment building, and was completely destroyed after being set on fire.

Authorities located a Molotov cocktail with a half-expended fuse nearby.

Eighteen firefighters attended the scene, while the fire was about to cause damage to another car of the diplomat.



Susanna Schlein "is saved by a miracle because luckily the Molotov cocktail placed under the car near the gas plant which is under her family's bedroom did not explode".

This was stated by Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on the sidelines of the Med Dialogues, commenting on the attack on the first adviser of the Italian embassy in Athens.

"It's probably an attack of anarchist origin like there have been others," he added.



The Farnesina condemns in the utmost firmness the serious criminal act committed in Athens against the First Councilor Susanna Schlein and her family: during the night, unknown persons set fire to one of her cars, which was completely destroyed after an explosion.

Awakened by a few barrels in rapid succession, Schlein noticed the attempt to set fire to a second car nearby which a Molotov cocktail was found with a semi-exhausted fuse.

The police are carrying out the necessary scientific and investigative surveys.

The Farnesina expresses closeness and utmost solidarity with Susanna Schlein and her family. 



"I express my personal closeness and that of the Italian Government to the First Counselor of the Italian Embassy in Athens, Susanna Schlein, and my deep concern for the attack that hit her, probably of anarchist origin. I am following the story with the utmost attention, also through Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, who is visiting Athens today".

This was stated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a note.
