Police have arrested a 30-year-old man in relation with the beating of Yanis Varoufakis almost two months ago.

The MeRA25 leader and former finance minister was assaulted at a taverna in the city center district of Exarchia on March 10.

He blamed “hired thugs” for the assault, in which he suffered a fractured nose.

Shortly after the attack, police arrested a 17-year-old boy who is believed to have filmed the incident.

A 19-year-old and a 35-year-old were also arrested.
