One of several foreign motorcyclists taken into custody Friday at the northwestern port of Igoumenitsa for alleged weapons possession and other offences has suffered a stroke while in detention.
The man, a German national, was among thousands of Harley Davidson riders who arrived in Greece for an international gathering of members of the Hells Angels motorcycle group in Drepano, near Igoumenitsa.
He was arrested at the port on the order of a Corfu prosecutor in connection with a pending extradition request to Poland over his alleged involvement in a traffic accident. He has since been hospitalized under police guard in Ioannina.
The Hells Angels gathering has placed Greek police on heightened alert. Members of the group have, for decades, been linked to criminal activity in a number of countries.
The three-day get-together, which concludes on Sunday, is being held for the second time in coastal Drepano and has been organized by a Patra-based group acting as a local branch of the organization.
