Police claim immediate success in tackling illegal immigration in Evros

The police claims that its crackdown on illegal immigration is already bearing results, with the number of migrants entering Greece via the country’s Evros border with Turkey falling dramatically. According to figures released by the police, 447 undocumented migrants were caught crossing into Greece illegally on August 2, before the Xenios Zeus operation began, but on August 8 and 9, that figure had fallen to 12 and 15 respectively.
