- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
A 64-year-old Belgian national was arrested on a warrant by the Central Port of Piraeus' Security Office in collaboration with the Port Authority's Narcotics and Smuggling Unit.
The man is being charged for insubordination, forgery, and violation of the law on money laundering and terrorist funding (Law 4557/2018).
According to the Port Authority he was found in a car in the coastal town of Porto Rafti and showed forged travel documents from Belgium. During a search of his car, they found fake identification and 19,485 euros, all of which were confiscated. From a search in his house in Porto Rafti, authorities found and confiscated a cancelled Greek police ID and a Greek passport, cash, two money-counting machines, two laptops, and a Belgian identification card and a driver's license, which helped identify him as a person under an extradition warrant.
The detainee was expected to be led before the local prosecutor of appeals.
