Two Coast Guard officials, one serving in the department’s special forces, a former colleague, and three Albanian nationals were arrested for trying to smuggle drugs into Greek territory on Wednesday.
The large-scale underwater operation spreading from Piraeus to the island of Corfu was concluded with success. After the suspicious behavior of the two officers, the police had been tracing their phones and were finally led to the seizure of 100 kilos of cannabis.
The two Coast Guards denied any involvement in the smuggling case but are being kept in custody.
