A criminal organization involved in the trafficking of large quantities of illegal drugs in Mykonos and the wider Athens area has been dismantled, according to Greek police.
The operation was carried out on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, by officers from the Organized Crime Division, with support from specialized police units. Five members of the group were arrested, along with a 31-year-old woman accused of possessing illegal substances.
According to investigators, the group had operated since mid-April, forming a structured network with a hierarchy and specific roles aimed at distributing different types of drugs and generating illegal profits.
Structure of the organization
Police said the 37-year-old alleged leader coordinated the group’s activities, including finding suppliers, managing hiding locations and arranging the transport of substances.
A 38-year-old man acted as a second-in-command, overseeing storage and distribution, while a 39-year-old member was reportedly responsible for storing drugs and collecting money from sales.
Another 25-year-old suspect was involved in finding customers and distributing substances, while a 38-year-old woman was accused of managing storage areas and monitoring locations where drugs were hidden.
Drugs and equipment seized
During searches of homes and storage locations in Mykonos, Piraeus and Perama, police seized more than two kilograms of cocaine, 705.65 grams of pink cocaine (TUCI), 754.4 grams of MDMA, more than one kilogram of raw cannabis, processed cannabis, hundreds of drug tablets, ketamine and psychedelic mushrooms.
Authorities also confiscated precision scales, four vans, two motorcycles, two cars, 14 mobile phones, a safe, a money-counting device, packaging materials and cash totaling €94,575 and $11,500.
Estimated illegal profits exceeded €700,000
Police estimated that the organization’s illegal earnings exceeded €700,000, based on the seized money and the alleged sales of drugs.
According to the investigation, prices varied depending on the substance, with cocaine reportedly sold for €120 to €200 per gram, TUCI for €170 to €200 per gram, MDMA for €60 to €80 per gram and ecstasy tablets for around €20 each.
The suspects, including two people who had reportedly been involved in previous criminal cases, were taken before the relevant prosecutorial authorities.
