Questioning of drug smuggling case set to begin
The questioning of the 33 suspects of the "Noor 1" drug-smuggling case is due to begin on Dec 14, 2015, which will coincide with the end of the 18-month pre-trial detention of four of them. The trial, which began two months ago,was concerning the discovery of two tons of heroin in Athens in 2014. The drug was shipped to Greece on board the "Noor 1". 11 of those charged were the ship’s crew. Most of the suspects face charges of drug smuggling and forming a criminal organization. The drugs were found in a warehouse in Koropi, east of Athens, and at a villa in the northern suburb of Filothei. The four suspects who are due to be released from custody on Monday are Turks. They will have to remain under house arrest and attend the trial after being released.
