A large-scale police operation has been underway across multiple areas of Attica since the early hours of Wednesday, June 10, as authorities move to dismantle an alleged criminal organization suspected of involvement in drug and weapons trafficking.
The operation is being led by the Athens Sub-Directorate for Crime Investigation and Detection, with support from heavily armed units of the Greek special police forces and the counterterrorism and tactical response unit. The coordinated effort forms part of a broader strategy to break up the network and disrupt its activities.
According to preliminary information, the organization is believed to have been operating since at least December 2025, developing an extensive illicit distribution network for narcotics and firearms across the Attica region. Investigations remain ongoing, and officials are expected to provide further details once the operation is completed.
Drugs and Ammunition Seized; Eight Arrested
Authorities have so far arrested eight individuals, including the man alleged to be the leader of the organization. During searches conducted as part of the operation, officers reportedly seized quantities of narcotics as well as ammunition.
Police continue to carry out searches at multiple locations throughout Attica, while investigators examine the evidence recovered during the raids. Further announcements on the outcome of the operation are expected in the coming hours.
