Greek police discovered rifles and ammo in shipment containers marked as the humanitarian aid for Syrian refugees. So far, the Greek custom police found 5000 rifles and at least half a million bullets in 2 containers allegedly labeled as the “humanitarian aid” intended to the migrants from Syria who arrived in Greek migrant’s camp. This video shows only one of those containers. Media speculate if there are other similar “humanitarian” aid shipments for other camps in Europe.
Its crew of seven has been arrested, while inspectors continued searching the remaining containers in the port of Crete's largest city, Iraklion. Greek authorities have not released their nationalities, which local media say include Syrians, Egyptians and Indians.
The Turkish government has claimed that the weapons were destined for the Sudanese police force. BUT they were shipped to Greece. It was also clear that an effort had been made to hide the weapon inside of other cargo. Greek authorities show that the consignment is going to receivers other than those stated in the documentation.
In a video released by the Creete TV station Cretapost, boxes with ammo are clearly labeled with US ammo production company Yavex. On their website Yavex detailed the online purchasing propositions with the warning that Federal law requires that buyer must be at least 18 years old to purchase shotgun ammunition and 21 years or older to purchase handgun and rifle ammunition.
It also displayed the following:
“We can ship ammunition to your door via UPS GROUND or FEDEX GROUND,”
“Use of known shipper, no third party,” and “No sales outside the U.S.”
Another video roaming YouTube displays a different story than those seen in mainstream media. The video is a collection of rude and even brutal behavior of younger immigrants, as they steal, break, express violence and throw away water.
In addition, the video shows some immigrants from the Syria refugees group that are waving the Pakistan flag. Other violent refugees clearly came from African countries.
There are reports that substantial amount of money is needed to travel as a refugee from Syria to Germany. According to the refugees interviewed on the Serbia-Hungarian border, they have paid from $3,000 - $5,000 for illegal transportation across the Mediterranean Sea only. Other reports state that some Turkish NGO’s are paying staggering $11,000 to Syrians who want to migrate to the EU. “For that amount of money, it is possible to settle in many Syrian towns away from the atrocities of war,” one Syrian girl told Serbian reporters.
Meanwhile, the amount of migrants in the EU has been growing by thousands every day for more than two years. Germany stated they would accept some 800,000 migrants from Syria, but they will first expel hundreds of thousands migrants that come from poor Balkan countries.
