Illegal migrant arrests in NW Greece

Thirteen illegal migrants of Asian origin were detained in the Iliokali district of northwest Ioannina prefecture after they were found wandering in the area, police said on Monday. All of them are set to be deported. 
 
In a separate incident at the western port of Igoumenitsa, extreme NW Greece, another four illegal migrants, also of Asian origin, were discovered by port authority officers hiding inside a truck waiting to board an Italy-bound ferry boat. The truck driver was reportedly unaware of their presence.
