Georgian police help Greek law enforcers detain Georgian criminal group

The Georgian Interior Ministry and the country’s police attaché to Greece have helped Greek law enforcers to detain four Georgian members of a criminal group.

The detainees, who have not been identified by the Georgian Interior Ministry, have robbed about 200 flats in Greece.

The detainees chose flats beforehand and then robbed,” the Georgian Interior Ministry reported.

The law enforcers seized money, weapons and stolen items from the accommodations where the detainees lived.

If found guilty for crimes including membership in a criminal group, money laundering and robbery, the individuals may face up to 20 years in prison.

The Georgian Interior Ministry is in active cooperation with its European allies to combat crime, the Ministry of Internal Affairs says.
