READ MORE: Greek police have arrested six migrants suspected of setting fires that razed the country’s biggest refugee camp, sparking a humanitarian crisis that has left more than 12,500 asylum seekers without shelter.
The suspects, all Afghan nationals, include two minors. They were arrested after counterterrorism and national intelligence units deployed on the island of Lesbos identified them in video captured by witnesses during the fire that devastated the overcrowded Moria camp last week.
The minors are due to appear before special prosecutors in the northern cities of Thessaloniki and Katerini, where they were transferred along with 320 other teenage migrants evacuated from Moria soon after the blaze, police spokesman Theodore Chronopoulos told VOA.
He said all other suspects were being held on Lesbos and were set to appear before a prosecutor to be charged and face probable deportation.
