A criminal organization was dismantled in Messinia, whose members systematically trafficked quantities of drugs.

Two people were arrested against whom a case file was filed for criminal organization and drugs which also includes one person, who is already detained.

During the operation, more than 100 grams of cocaine were seized, among other things, while it is estimated that the profits from the criminal activity would exceed 50,000 euros.

As members of a criminal organization a 42-year-old Greek and a 40-year-old foreigner were arrested, for whom a case file was filed for criminal organization and drugs, which also includes a 38-year-old foreigner, who is already incarcerated in a detention center.
