Criminal Network Smuggling Migrants from Turkey to Greece Dismantled

A criminal organization illegally trafficking migrants from Turkey to Greece via Kos was dismantled on March 24, 2025, following a joint operation by the Coast Guard and EYP. One leader, a 44-year-old Georgian, was arrested in Salamis, while a Turkish national remains at large. The network, uncovered after a yacht carrying 74 foreigners was intercepted, involved at least twelve members and sophisticated smuggling operations.
