A well-known Greek actor was sent to prison.
The 34-year-old actor, who participated in the TV series last season, was arrested and convicted of migrant trafficking.
How the Authorities identified the immigrants
The actor was arrested in December 2023, when five illegal immigrants were found in his car, with which he had boarded a ship running the route Rhodes – Piraeus.
The migrants were spotted when a crew member saw the car windows fogged up.
The actor was arrested and convicted of migrant trafficking.
What the actor’s lawyer said
“It is an unusual situation. There has never been one involved like this before. Greek defendants in these cases are rare, let alone such a person,” said his lawyer, Dimitris Georgakopoulos, who spoke to Mega and the show “Akoma Den Ides Tipota”.
“He has regretted doing it. It wasn’t financial need that drove him there. He hasn’t told me much,” he noted, while adding: “He told me that he was under some pressure, but I haven’t been able to verify it yet.”
