The Authority Against the Legalisation of Income from Criminal Activity and Funding of Terrorism ordered the confiscation of cargo on board the Sierra Leone-flagged freighter "Nour-M", on Wednesday.

Rifle and machine gun ammunition were found in the first containers from the cargo vessel NOUR-M opened by Greek authorities.

The alarm was raised by authorities in the Aegean when a ship was found, after inspection, to be carrying a shipment of arms.
