Greek authorities arrest Turkish businessman for Mykonos drug trafficking
Greek authorities have arrested a 34-year-old Turkish national identified as a major drug trafficker operating in Mykonos. The suspect allegedly used a legitimate company providing luxury tourist van services as a front to launder illegal proceeds.
Investigations by the Organized Crime Directorate are currently examining the suspect's connections to other criminal elements in Greece. While no direct links to the Turkish mafia have been established, police are investigating the possibility of ties to Turkish intelligence services, prompted by the suspect's expressed admiration for the Turkish President and his significant investments in the country.
The Anti-Money Laundering Authority is expected to conduct a thorough audit of his businesses and assets, which include a parking facility in central Athens. Authorities believe his criminal activities may have extended to other regions of Greece beyond Mykonos.
