Magistrate probing police response to migrant attacks

An Athens magistrate on Friday was to launch an investigation into the handling by a group of police officers of an alleged attack against a group of Pakistani migrants that is believed to be racially motivated. Public Order Minister Nikos Dendias instructed the chief of the Greek Police, Lieutenant Major Nikolaos Papayiannopoulos, to submit to the magistrate the video testimony of a Pakistani man who claims that he and a group of his compatriots were mistreated by police officers called in response to a racially-motivated attack against them.
