[01] Police arrests man for trasporting 16 undocumented migrants in
northern Greece
ΑΝΑ - ΜΠΑ - Police's immigration unit in northern Greece arrested
an Albanian national for trafficking migrants during an operation on
Egnatia highway on Sunday.
The 27-year-old man, suspected of being a member of a migrant trafficking
ring, was driving a lorry in which police found 16 undocumented migrants.
According to the investigation, the lorry belongs to a Bulgarian national
and the migrants boarded it in Evros, a region bordering Turkey and
Bulgaria.
Each migrant appears to have paid 2,500 euros for the transport and the
aim was to travel through Greece and into other European countries.
The man will appear before the prosecutor and authorities are expected
to start deportation procedures for the migrants.
