More spies uncovered by the Greek Coast Guard

A recent Greek Coast Guard investigation into migrant trafficking has unveiled yet another espionage network involving more than 15 suspects.

Four of the suspects, which include Greek, Turkish and Lebanese nationals, were allegedly gathering information on the movement of Greece's Navy and Coast Guard vessels and sharing it with people of interest in Turkey.

The operation, involving police, coast guard and secret service (EYP) officials, was carried out in two phases on November 6 and 15.

EYP initially acted on intelligence concerning a trafficking network using high-speed boats to smuggle migrants – including people of potential security interest – from Turkey to Kos.

This comes as Greece also uncovered two Muslim Greeks from Thrace were spying on the Navy on behalf of the Turkish Consulate in Rhodes.
