Greek and Italian police launch operation against migrant trafficking outfit
Police in Italy and Greece launched a collaborative operation in the early hours of Thursday morning to dismantle a ring of migrant traffickers involved in the illegal transfer of migrants from Greece to Salento in southern Italy.
The Italian media reported that 13 arrest warrants were issued in total, seven in Italy and six in Greece, while the police operation also involves Europol and the Italian anti-Mafia department. It is the culmination of an investigation lasting more than a year, which uncovered the existence of organisations specialising in the transfer of migrants from Greece to Salento that are constantly in contact.
Police estimate that the specific trafficking outfit is responsible from bringing hundreds of people to Italy, demanding a minimum of 6,000 euros per migrant.
