50-Year-Old Arrested in Thessaloniki for Illegal Migrant Transport

In Thessaloniki, police arrested a 50-year-old Albanian national for the illegal transport of migrants. The suspect is on trial for drug trafficking and a warrant for his arrest was outstanding from the investigating judge of Thesprotia. During the arrest, the 50-year-old ignored a stop sign and accelerated, eventually being immobilized by police. Five Afghans were found in his car, three of whom were minors, and had entered Greece through Evros.
