On Sunday, a police immigration unit in northern Greece arrested an Albanian national for attempting to traffic migrants down the Egnatia highway. The 27-year-old man, suspected of being a member of a migrant trafficking ring, was driving a lorry in which police found 16 undocumented migrants. According to the investigation, the lorry belongs to a Bulgarian national. The migrants boarded it in Evros, a Greek prefecture bordering Turkey and Bulgaria. Each migrant appears to have paid 2,500 euros for the transport, which was planning to travel from Greece to other European countries. The man will appear before a prosecutor this week. Authorities are expected to start deportation procedures for the migrants shortly.
