17 November: How Giotopoulos was identified as the leader

Revelations about the dismantling of the 17 November terrorist organization were made in Alexis Papahelas' documentary. The murder of Saunders and the appearance of "Mr. X" played a pivotal role.

The name of Alexandros Giotopoulos was "whispered" in the security services years before the dismantling. An important element was the high education and French education of the author of the proclamations.

Ambassador Apostolidis traveled to Havana, while Fotis Papageorgiou located Giotopoulos' sister in Athens. An American agent contacted Giotopoulos' old comrades in France and located Victor Anagnostopoulos.

The murder of Saunders mobilized the British, who identified childish mistakes by the Greek authorities. The Church was also mobilized with Archbishop Christodoulos.

M. Chrysochoidis had referred to "Mr. X," who gave crucial information about the organization's actions. In a meeting with the British, Fotis Nasiakos pointed out Alexandros Giotopoulos as the leader of 17N.
