Asylum lawyers to get bonus for talking migrants into returning home

Greece has introduced a policy offering financial incentives to lawyers providing free legal advice to asylum-seekers, contingent on those individuals voluntarily returning to their home countries. The initiative, outlined in a ministerial decision, targets migrants from nations where asylum success rates are below 20%, including Egypt and Bangladesh. Lawyers will receive €250 per successful return, in addition to a base payment of €160 for their advisory work. The policy aims to address concerns over increased economic migration, with officials noting that many arrivals are not genuine asylum-seekers but rather individuals seeking better opportunities in Europe. Legal assistance will focus on informing migrants about procedures, rights, and voluntary return options, though it will not include specialized legal representation or preparation for asylum interviews. Over 15,000 people have entered Greece illegally this year, primarily via sea routes from Libya.
