A large-scale cocaine trafficking network, involving Greek dockworkers and Albanian traffickers, has been dismantled following a coordinated police operation.

An extensive anti-fraud operation led by the European Public Prosecutor’s Office has uncovered a major smuggling and bribery ring at the port of Piraeus, resulting in eight arrests and the seizure of millions of euros in cash, Greek authorities have announced.

National Defense Minister Nikos Dendias and French Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu paid a visit to the French frigate 'Alsace' docked at Piraeus port on Holy Monday afternoon.
