Authorities charged five members of a far-right group on Tuesday with participation in a criminal organization, possession of explosives, explosions, arsonist attacks, aggravated damages and violation of laws on possession of weapons, following a large anti-terrorism operation around Greece. 
The suspects, which include a lawyer, are all up to 30 years of age and will be led before the prosecutor on Wednesday. Police said the suspects identify themselves as members of the neo-Nazi, extreme right groups Combat 18 Hellas, or the Unaligned Meander Nationalists (UMA) and are being investigated for about 30 attacks against locations frequented by anti-establishment groups, migrants and others.
Combat 18 Hellas and UMA have also claimed responsibility on far-right websites for the desecration of Jewish cemeteries and monuments around Greece and the statue of the late Pavlos Fyssas who was killed by a member of Golden Dawn. 
The case follows the arrest of four members of the far-right group "Apella" for an arsonist attack on the "Free Social Center Favela" in Piraeus on August 2017.
