Shocking claim from Greek Media: Turkish mafia rapidly expanding in Greece!
Three Turkish Mafia Members Arrested in Three Days
According to an article published by Kathimerini, three armed Turkish mafia members were arrested in the past three days, with confirmed links to organized crime. These arrests have confirmed findings from the police's secret report, underscoring the expanding threat posed by these organizations.
Is Athens Becoming a Battleground for Turkish Mafia Rivalries?
The report warns that Greece, particularly Athens, is at risk of becoming a battleground for rival Turkish crime syndicates. The execution of six individuals in Athens last year highlights the severity of the situation, as criminal factions from Turkey appear to be settling scores on Greek soil.
Luxury Lifestyles, Social Media Displays, and Asylum Claims
The report also details how Turkish mafia members frequently rent luxurious homes in Athens suburbs through platforms like Airbnb, flaunting their lavish lifestyles on social media. Furthermore, many of these individuals reportedly claim to be members of the PKK or FETÖ, seeking asylum in Greece under false pretenses.
Europol's classification of Turkish crime networks as among the most dangerous in Europe was also highlighted in the media report, adding to the growing concern over this cross-border criminal activity.
