Greek police law enforcement operations

Overview

Greek authorities have conducted several operations targeting different criminal activities. In Ioannina, police dismantled two fraud networks that specialized in telephone scams targeting elderly citizens. One group posed as relatives or medical professionals to solicit urgent funds, while another posed as accountants to seize assets under the guise of tax audits. These operations resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of cash and valuables.

In Athens, police targeted a document forgery ring operating out of a mobile phone shop in the Omonoia district. The operation, which led to the arrest of two foreign nationals, uncovered the trafficking of travel documents used to facilitate illegal entry and residence. Authorities seized various forged identification documents, cash totaling €34,370, and equipment used to register mobile connections under false identities.
