Ten Top Greek Cops Tied To Golden Dawn
ATHENS - An investigation by Internal Affairs investigators has found that 10 Greek police officers are involved with the extremist Golden Dawn party ?directly or indirectly? but said there was no evidence of any mass infiltration within the department as feared.
The head of the police?s Internal Affairs Department, Panayiotis Stathis, told a press conference that no ?organized cells or factions? linked to Golden Dawn were discovered during the month-long probe but he conceded that ?lax supervision? of officers was a problem.
Police questioned 319 officers at precincts across the country before arresting 15 on a range of charges, Stathis said and 10 were found to have some kind of connection to Golden Dawn?s activities, he said.
