| 2015-03-19 |
| [Hurriyet Daily News] Police raids across Greece last week smashed an international people trafficking ring that made $8 million in profit from smuggling Syrian migrants via maritime routes from ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... to Greece, resulting in the arrest of 16 suspects, officials said late on March 17. The group also smuggled victims from Greece to other EU Member States through a range of methods, and was involved in the production and distribution of forged travel documents and their trading to other organized criminal groups, Europol said in a written statement. "This action sends the clear message that Europol and its partners are determined to pursue those responsible for these terrible crimes," said Rob Wainwright, Director of Europol. |

| #2 At least they make a show of controlling their border rather then sending agents to the source of origin to recruit even more 'refugees'. |
