U saopćenju ministarstva finansija se kaže da je u Atini i u drugom po veličini grčkom gradu Solunu uhapšeno pet lica -- jedan bugarski državljanin i četvero Grka, među kojima su, kako se sumnja, jedan od glavnih planera te operacije, te jedan carinski posrednik i dvije žene.
Five people -- a Bulgarian national and four Greeks, including one of the suspected masterminds of the operation, a customs broker and two women -- were arrested in Athens and Greece's second largest city, Thessaloniki, according to the finance ministry statement.
