Hyviäkin uutisia, pari taksikuskia sai vankeutta Kreikassa ihmissalakuljetuksesta:
"Two Ukrainian nationals have been de facto sentenced to life in prison in Greece for illegally transporting migrants. But their relatives say they are the victims of a scam.
On July 20, a court in the Greek city of Piraeus sentenced Serhiy Shvayuk and Petro Lytvynchuk to 180 years in prison each, the Slidstvo.Info media outlet reported.
According to the two men’s lawyer, Zacharias Kesses, the Ukrainians were arrested by the Greek authorities as they sailed a yacht with 63 migrants onboard.
“During the reading of a verdict, between 10 and 15 years could be added (to the sentence) for each illegal migrant,” Kesses told the Slidstvo.Info. “Initially they faced 630 years in prison.”
According to court translator Lidiya Kostiv, Shvayuk and Lytvynchuk also violated several other laws, including illegal crossing a European Union country’s border, putting the lives of passengers in danger with an overloaded boat, and the absence of emergency equipment. Moreover, neither of them had a license to operate the yacht when they were detained."
