Greek coast guard confronts Turkish smuggler with dead migrant bodies

The Greek coast guard has confronted a Turkish human smuggler with the dead bodies of three migrant children who were in his capsized boat “as a lesson,” while charging the trafficker with 120 years of imprisonment.

The smuggler, identified only as Özkan A., was trafficking 23 migrants, including six children and five women, to the Greek island of Samos when his boat capsized off Turkey’s Aegean coast.

While Özkan A. and 20 of the migrants were rescued by the search and rescue foundation Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), three children were retrieved dead. According to reports, two of the children were four years old and the other was two years old.

Video footage of the incident has emerged showing the smuggler as he sits and cries watching the toddlers as they are placed inside coffins.............http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/greek-coast-guard-confronts-turkish-smuggler-with-dead-migrant-bodies.aspx?pageID=238&nID=94052&NewsCatID=341
