A 66-year-old Polish national was arrested by police in Athens on Wednesday for importing and possessing five kilos of "psychotria viridis", a plant that contains a powerful hallucinogenic called DMT. This is the first time this drug was seized in Greece.

The ministry of foreign affairs blasted on Wednesday an article published in the Financial Times that concerned a legal case won by Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias against a magazine, stating it "propagates unprecedented lies aimed at discrediting the Greek government".
