The owner of the vehicle, which appears in the video pulling a trailer, in which 13 illegal immigrants, of Syrian and Pakistani origin, were illegally detained, was identified, brought and detained at the Alexandroupoli Security Directorate.

The incident took place this afternoon, near Alexandroupoli.

In addition to the owner of the vehicle, of Albanian origin, two nationals were brought and detained, who allegedly assisted him.

Those arrested are referred to the Greek Justice.

The Greek Police is vigilant and, in cooperation with the rest of the State Authorities, is working intensively and systematically to effectively guard the borders and dismantle the criminal rings of illegal immigrant trafficking, while at the same time ensuring the observance of legality and aiming to drastically limit the problem.

It is recalled that during the month of August, the Greek Police prevent on average around 900 illegal entries into our country per day in the Evros and arrest hundreds of traffickers.

Greece is a state of law, with a strong democratic acquis and humanitarian tradition. Self-righteousness is not tolerated in any form.
