Greek authorities have dismantled a criminal network accused of exploiting foreign nationals for forced begging across several regions.
Greek police and justice authorities have broken up a criminal organization that allegedly exploited foreign nationals, including vulnerable individuals, by forcing them into street begging in major urban areas. The operation targeted a structured network believed to have coordinated collection routes, controlled victims’ movements, and collected proceeds under coercive conditions. Law enforcement conducted multiple raids, resulting in arrests and the seizure of assets linked to the group’s activities. Investigators emphasized that the network operated across several regions, highlighting organized crime’s role in human exploitation and begging-related offenses.
