Convict Vlastos sentenced to 26.5 years in prison for planting a bomb
Convict Panagiotis Vlastos on Thursday was sentenced to 26.5 years in prison by a court in Larisa, central Greece, for his role as an instigator for an explosion in an apartment building in the city year ago.
The bomb had caused major damage in apartments and nearby shops, but no injuries.
The actual perpetrators of the crime, who planted the bomb, were convicted to 30.5 years and 6 years in prison. The latter defendant was released because he had filed an appeal.
Vlastos was not present in court because he had to continue his testimony on another case concerning blackmails and was represented by his attorney.
His attorney said Vlastos admitted giving the order to plant the bomb to scare someone, but added he didn't know about the size of the bomb was and what his cousin and her husband who made it did with it.
Following this statement, the court's minutes will be send to the relevant prosecutor to investigate the role of the couple who made the bomb.
