Police have announced the arrest of three suspects linked to a criminal gang that hid drugs in juice packaging and distributed them in Athens.
During a raid on Friday, officers seized 17 kilograms of cannabis, nearly 1.4 kilograms of cocaine, 32 grams of pink cocaine, and €45,800 in cash.
The gang operated in the Glyfada and Vari areas, concealing drugs in paper juice cartons or glass containers for oil or vinegar, depending on the substance. It also sold ketamine, crystal meth (MDMA), liquid LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms, cannabis oil and codeine.
Authorities estimate the gang profited €200,000 from its illicit trade.
The arrested suspects, including the alleged gang leader, have been brought before a prosecutor.
