The authorities are now in the hands of the traffickers who transported immigrants and abandoned them in Skyros, specifically in the Boukes area.

According to the information so far, there are two traffickers and they were arrested in the center of the city of Skyros after close monitoring by the police, who finally intervened and handcuffed the two men.

The traffickers were taken to the port authority of Skyros for preliminary questioning, while the migrants are at the Evia Police Directorate, in Chalkida, from where they will be transferred within the day to the Amygdaleza facility.

The irregular immigrants who sailed on Wednesday 19/4 in Skyros are estimated at up to 30, while their detection put the island on alert.

According to the report of evima.gr, the Mayor of Skyros requested the transfer of the illegal immigrants to some structure, as it is deemed impossible to host them on the island and thus it was decided to transfer them to Amygdaleza.

A “key” location for migrant-refugee flows trying to move to the central part of Europe is the wider area of ​​the Euboean Gulf, as the most frequent phenomenon is their detection both on the coasts and in the sea area of ​​the wider area.

It is also recalled that Evia was preoccupied by the incident of 15 migrants lying on the Varka “Akti” beach in Limniona at the beginning of the year, while the memories of the migrant tragedy with dozens of deaths in the Kafirea Strait are still fresh.
