The recent bomb threat directed at the courts of Evangelismos turned out to be false, after thorough checks by the Explosive Device Disposal Unit (TEEM) revealed no suspicious activity. The alarm was raised when an unknown individual called a local website and newspaper at 9:30 AM, claiming that a bomb had been placed and giving a 40-minute deadline for detonation. In response to the threat, authorities promptly evacuated the court premises to ensure the safety of all personnel and visitors.

Upon receiving the threat, traffic regulations were implemented in the area to control the flow of vehicles, particularly along the roads leading to the courthouse. These measures were precautionary and were in line with standard operating procedures for such potential threats. The incident caused significant disruption, including the rerouting of traffic on Leoforos Evangelismos and nearby streets.

The swift response from law enforcement and emergency services showcased the importance of preparedness in dealing with threats of this nature. While the bomb threat was ultimately identified as a hoax, such incidents highlight the ongoing concerns regarding public safety and the psychological impact of these threats on the community. Authorities are expected to investigate the source of the threat further to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
