Greek National Intelligence Anticipates Hit on IMF Rep

According to Kathimerini’s report, the Greek National Intelligence Security (EYP) anticipated an attack on the International Monetary Fund’s representative in Athens, Bob Traa.  An anti-regime group had targeted Bob Traa’s residence in Filothei.
The 55-year-old Dutch man was living in Greece as IMF’s representative from October 2010 until September 2013. At first he was staying in an apartment which was situated in Dionysiou Areopagitou street. He moved to a house in the Filothei region, in northern Athens, because his former address was leaked to the press.
EYP was aware of the hit that had been planned by anti-establishment groups. The attack was to be carried out by 15-20 persons, on motorbikes, dressed like anarchists, who would approach the home of the IMP representative from different directions, in order to evade the police patrols and then raid the Filothei residence. The hit was expected by EYP in August.
Further security measures were taken by the Greek police in order to effectively eliminate any possible threat. Finally, there was no report of an attack on IMF’s representative and Bob Traa was replaced by the American Wes McGrew in early September.
