[01] Heroin haul suspects to testify on Tues. and Wed.
ANA/MPA---The 14 arrested, allegedly involved in the latest case of 986
kilos and 600 grams heroin that police found in a warehouse in Koropi
on Saturday, were taken to the Piraeus Prosecution to be granted a
specific deposition deadline.
The persons arrested, accused of setting up a criminal organisation as
well as of possession and trafficking of drugs, will appear before the
prosecutors in two groups on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The latest quantity of heroin is linked with the finding of over a ton
of heroin in another warehouse in Koropi and a mansion in the Athens
suburb of Filothei a week ago and for which nine people have already
been remanded in custody including a 40-year-old ship owner.
The arrested include the 11 crewmembers of the "NOOR ONE" Togo-flagged
freighter, which transported the drugs to Greece, and three more
persons, including two Greeks: a 53 year-old female alleged to be the
representative of the shipping company, a man who allegedly assisted with
the transportation of the heroine to Filothei and an Iranian national,
who was allegedly guarding the drugs found in the Koropi warehouse.
