Police in northern Athens have arrested nine individuals, all minors, suspected of operating drug distribution networks. The group allegedly trafficked cannabis and cocaine, selling the substances in schoolyards and public squares. Investigations were prompted by deciphered encrypted communications revealing the extent of their operations. Authorities are also examining connections to a luxury sports car and reports of violent debt collection tactics used by the group. The arrests represent a crackdown on youth involvement in drug trafficking within the region. Further investigations are underway to determine the full scope of the network and identify any additional participants. The case highlights growing concerns about drug use and criminal activity among young people in the Athens suburbs.
