ATHENS -- Two men were arrested on Rhodes - one a Greek citizen who works for the Turkish consulate - and charged with spying for Turkey to gain military information from the island of Kastellorizo, where Turkey had been hunting for oil and gas.
Neither were identified but the business newspaper Naftemporiki, citing media reports from Rhodes and Athens, said the men were from the northeast city of Komotini and members of the Thrace border’s Muslim minority.
The Turkish consulate employee is 35 years old and was said to be well known on the island while the other suspect was identified as a 56-year-old cook on a ferry boat for the Rhodes-Kastellorizo route, near the Turkish coast.
