The Ministry of Foreign Relations says that 73 Dominicans who were deported from Greece arrived yesterday. They had entered Greece illegally by crossing the Turkish border. As reported in El Caribe, their plan was to travel to Spain.

Greece paid EUR460,000 to send back 54 Dominican women and 19 men who were under arrest for two months in Greece for illegal entry. Listin Diario reports that a B767-300 plane was chartered to fly the group back from Athens. They were escorted by 139 Greek police officers and two doctors on the direct flight to the DR, which took 11 and a half hours.

Greek and European Union regulations require that two policemen escort each immigrant.
