DHAKA: A sixth politician from Greece’s far-right Golden Dawn party has been arrested after handing himself in to police in Athens.

Deputy party leader Christos Pappas had been sought alongside five other MPs who were held a day earlier, reports the BBC.

In all 22 people have been held amid anger over the murder on 18 September of anti-racist musician, Pavlos Fyssas.

A man held for the stabbing told police he was a Golden Dawn supporter, though the party strongly denies any link.

It is alleged he spoke to Golden Dawn MPs after the attack.

Earlier on Sunday, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, Golden Dawn’s leader, was charged with belonging to a criminal organisation.

Police earlier said they found three pistols, ammunition and thousands of euros in cash at Michaloliakos’s home.

Other charges against some of those held include assault and money laundering.
