ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek police say a Syrian man and a Bulgarian woman have been arrested after being found with a stash of stolen passports and IDs, which they were allegedly in the process of forging and selling to migrants for 5,000 euros ($5,685) each.
The arrests were made Friday in Athens.
As well as Greek passports, police said Saturday they found Swedish passports, Greek and Bulgarian IDs, a laptop, a tablet, a laminating machine, USBs and plastic sheets. If sold, the forged documents would have fetched nearly a million euros (dollars).
The Syrian man, 41, has already served time in prison for similar activity, and had been released recently. When police entered the apartment, the 44-year-old woman tried to throw several passports, IDs and a laptop over the balcony.
