Greece arrests group trying to smuggle migrants abroad

ATHENS, May 31 (Reuters) Greece has arrested a group of men who tried to smuggle a dozen migrants abroad in a truck from a port city connecting Greece to Italy, the coast guard said today.
The four Greek nationals, including the driver, were arrested early yesterday "for forming a criminal group, for facilitating the transfer of undocumented foreigners abroad and for exposing them to danger," the coast guard said.
The 12 migrants, who Greek media said were Somali and Iraqi, were also arrested. The Athens News Agency said the truck had set off from the northern city of Thessaloniki, Greece's second-biggest, and was discovered in the western port city of Igoumenitsa.
