Greek police have arrested 17 suspected migrant smugglers in the past week near the Turkish border in the region of Thrace, specifically around the Evros River. These arrests occurred as part of efforts to curb illegal migration, with the suspects allegedly transporting nearly 100 migrants in vehicles westward toward Europe. The incidents included cases where overcrowded vehicles led to dangerous conditions, such as a car with 11 migrants and a truck carrying 13 migrants that crashed, injuring six. Greece remains the primary entry point for irregular migration into Europe, though current numbers are significantly lower than during the 2015 crisis. This year, nearly 18,000 migrants have entered Greece illegally, primarily departing from Libya via the Mediterranean Sea. Despite security measures like a border fence, over 4,300 have still crossed from Turkey.
