The investigation of Golden Dawn’s offices in Agrinio resulted in the arrest of a 45-year-old police guard who was assigned to Golden Dawn MP Kostas Barbarousis and was suspended after participating in an incident in Mesologi.
During the investigation the police found 30 shields, 2 motorcycle helmets, 15 torches, 11 flagpoles, 3 wooden clubs and an ax. The police also recovered a police hat, police helmet, riot police shin guards and a bullet belt with 15 shotgun shells belonging to the 45-year-old.
In September 2012 a group of Golden Dawn supporters with Mr. Barbarousis in charge stormed an open air market in Mesologi where they smashed stalls operated by immigrants.
The 45-year-old was suspended and faces discharge from the Police for participating in the attack and claimed that he was merely accompanying the Golden Dawn MP.
