Greek driver nabbed with 105 migrants in truck

A 28-year-old Greek man was arrested yesterday in the Evros border region of northeastern Greece, after frontier guards found 105 illegal immigrants hidden in the truck he was driving.

During questioning, the migrants revealed that they had crossed into Greece from Turkey in rowing boats with the help of two smugglers whom they had paid between $3,000 and $5,000 per head.

The 28-year-old was supposed to drive the migrants to Athens, authorities said.
