Nine individuals have been detained in Thessaloniki for the illegal detention and abuse of seven Moroccan nationals. The victims were held hostage in an abandoned house near the Roma settlement of Agia Sophia, where they were beaten and forced to demand additional payment from their families. Authorities uncovered the operation following emergency calls and a video showing the abuse. The suspects, including a Pakistani national, face charges of trafficking and illegal detention. The investigation reveals the involvement of at least seven others in the trafficking ring.
