Trafficked from Nepal, migrant workers prosecuted while Greek employers escape scrutiny

When a 25-year-old man from Nepal reported being forced to work in Greece’s strawberry fields, police made arrests — but did not investigate the employers he identified.

Thirteen Coast Guard officers--the captain and crew of patrol vessel PPLS-920, the only ship on the scene when the boat went down--now face criminal charges. In an exclusive interview with Solomon, their lawyer presented the officers’ defense. Their version of events is juxtaposed against the findings of the Greek Ombudsman, whose confidential report—obtained by Solomon—challenges several of their claims and notes shortcomings in Coast Guard leadership on the night of June 14, 2023.
