A court in Hania, Crete, is due today to hear the testimony of seven men accused of smuggling illegal weapons and other products from Libya to the Greek island. The suspects – six Greeks and one foreign national aged between 45 and 61 years old – were arrested on Thursday after the coast guard received a tipoff indicating that contraband was being carried on their 11-meter, Panama-flagged speed boat. A search of the vessel and its passengers revealed two unlicensed firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, four magazines for AK-47 assault rifles, knives and illegal tobacco, among other contraband.
