Police operations across Greece during early July resulted in multiple drug‑related arrests and seizures. In Athens, an under‑age trafficker was caught with a small amount of cocaine, 882 g of cannabis, a firearm, a motorcycle and €2,174 in cash. In Veria and the nearby region of Imathia, authorities seized 100 ecstasy tablets and more than 900 g of cannabis, along with additional smaller cannabis packages and a mobile phone.
On the islands, three suspects – two foreigners and one Greek – were arrested on Zakynthos after a coordinated investigation uncovered cocaine packets, a revolver, cash and a motorcycle. Separate targeted checks in the western Macedonian prefectures of Kastoria and Kozani led to five arrests and the confiscation of several grams of raw and processed cannabis, a few ecstasy tablets and a makeshift cannabis cigarette. All detainees have been referred to prosecutors.
These coordinated raids demonstrate a broad crackdown on drug trafficking networks throughout the country.
