(Kathimerini) A 37-year-old Syrian national, arrested for migrant trafficking Saturday, has admitted he is working for a trafficking ring and is being paid €1,500 per month for his work.
The Syrian is thought by authorities to be the organizer of the transport of 41 migrants who disembarked from a yacht Friday morning in eastern Attica.
Questioned by Coast Guard officers, the Syrian said the ringleader, who lives in Germany, comes to Greece about once a month and pays him. He claimed he has worked for the migrant trafficking ring for two years.
