Golden Dawn ‘cell’ in the Municipal Police of Athens
Local government unionists reported the existence of a far-right
cell named ‘Group K’ that functions in a para-state fashion and is in
co-operation with Greek police.
Local government unionists from the Municipality of Athens reported
the existence of an organised cell of Golden Dawn in the force of
Municipal Police of Athens, active under the codename ‘Group K’. One
week after the death of Senegalese immigrant Cheikh Ndiaye while being chased in Thisseion [Athens] by a group of municipal police officers,
the Union of employees in the Municipal Authorities published an angry
statement where for the first time they reported the existence of a
Golden Dawn cell in the municipal police force. They also reported that
15 members of Group K, bullied one of their colleagues that spoke out
against them during the meeting of the general assembly of municipal
policemen on the 5th of February: “The group is known and
tolerated by the Local Authority of the Municipality of Athens; they
enjoy special privileges and specialise in the area of ‘illegal trade’
[an area that mainly involves immigrants]. They are also engaged in
joint operations together with the Greek police”.
