GREECE: Artemis Mattheopoulos became the latest Golden Dawn MP to be detained on charges of running a criminal organisation today, bringing the total number from the neonazi party to eight.

An Athens court ruled that he should be held in pre-trial detention on the charges, which stem from a crackdown following last year’s fatal stabbing of a anti-fascist musician by a party supporter.

Party leader Nikos Michaloliakos is among those in jail, while his wife Eleni Zaroulia, also an MP, was placed under temporary house arrest last week until judges decide whether she too should be held pending trial.
