  Revolutionary Organization 17 November - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A 58-year-old professor and economist, Alexandros Giotopoulos, was identified as the group leader and was arrested on July 17 on the island of Lipsi.
The convicted members were sentenced on December 17, with A. Giotopoulos sentenced to 21 life terms, the heaviest sentence in modern Greek legal history.
This was denied by the US State Department, who responded that "the Greek terrorist organization '17 November' was responsible for both assassinations" [1], and asserted that Grivas's central piece of evidence had been a document ("Westmoreland Field Manual") which the State department, as well as a Congressional inquiry had dismissed as a Soviet forgery.

Meanwhile, one confessed member of 17N informed authorities that the group's leaders were part of another greek terrorist faction, the Revolutionary Popular Struggle (ELA), that was highly active until 1995 and may have been an umbrella organization for several militant groups.

Tracing the history of 17 November, Kassimeris demonstrates how it has persevered with a one-dimensional view of a world peopled by heroes and villains, that has precluded the emergence of a coherent ideology.
Combining fanatical nationalism, contempt for the existing order, and the cult of violence for its own sake, 17 November has stubbornly refused to accept that its eclectic belief system is incompatible with modern democratic principles.
As such, 17 November's terror campaign has been an audacious protest aimed at discrediting and humiliating the Greek establishment and the US government, but one that has never sought to develop widespread revolutionary guerrilla warfare.
