A man sentenced to 25 years in prison in Greece for human trafficking was arrested in Italy this week. He reportedly smuggled migrants from Turkey to Greece.
Italian police arrested a 33-year-old Turkish citizen in Orio al Serio in the province of Bergamo on Monday as he was about to board a direct flight to Turkey.
The man had been sentenced to 25 years in prison in Greece for human trafficking between Turkey and Greece in 2014. Greek judicial authorities had issued a European arrest warrant following his conviction.

The man had also previously been arrested in Italy in 2015, after a court in the southern Italian city of Crotone had issued a warrant on charges of facilitating irregular migration.
