| Greek Police Arrest NGO Workers Involved in Illegal Migration Assistance Network |
| 2018-08-31 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna Police in Greece have arrested pro-migrant NGO workers on the island of Lesbos who they claim have been part of an operation to assist asylum seekers illegally entering the country. According to investigators, 30 people, six of them from Greece with 24 coming from other countries, were involved with the network and three suspects have been arrested, Le Figaro reports. All of those involved were working for the Greece-based NGO Emergency Response Centre International (ERCI) which facilitates a number of programmes aimed at helping asylum seekers. The police in Lesbos have now accused the NGO workers of being a "criminal network" which has helped smuggle illegal migrants into Greek territory for money since the height of the migrant crisis in 2015. |
