Symi

A 20-year-old male was arrested by the Symi Port Authority on Saturday for allegedly trafficking migrants into Greece.

The body of BBC presenter Michael Mosley, found on Sunday on the eastern Aegean island of Symi, is expected to be transferred to the island of Rhodes for an autopsy. 

His body was decomposed and was identified by the clothes he was wearing. According to a police source speaking to the BBC, Mosley had been lying dead at the location for several days. 

British TV presenter and healthy living advocate Michael Mosley has been found dead in a rocky area on the Greek island of Symi, just metres away from his destination, local mayors told Reuters on Sunday.

Mosley, 67, had been missing since Wednesday after he went for a walk alone along a coastal path in searing heat.

Greek police say an ongoing major search and rescue operation on the small eastern Aegean island of Symi has still not located British doctor and television presenter Michael Mosley, who went missing on Wednesday afternoon after reportedly going for a walk.

A navy ship carrying 389 refugees and migrants from the southeast Aegean island of Symi docked at the Greek capital's Piraeus port on Wednesday morning.
The asylum-seekers, most of them identified as Afghan nationals, were being taken on buses to unspecified facilities on the Greek mainland.

A navy ship carrying around 500 refugees and migrants from the southeast Aegean island of Symi docked at the Greek capital's Piraeus port on Tuesday morning.

The operation to transfer the migrants to the mainland came in response to an appeal from Symi Mayor Eleftherios Papakalodoukas, who said that his island is unequipped to deal with a surge in arrivals from Turkey.

Around 300 migrants and refugees who arrived from Turkey over the past few days are to be transferred off the southeastern Aegean island of Symi by the end of the week.

The decision comes in response to a number of complaints made by Symi Mayor Eleftherios Papakalodoukas, who has stressed that his island is completely unequipped to host, feed and care for asylum-seekers.
