Piraeus Central Port Authority

Two employees of Piraeus Containers Terminal SA have been arrested for allegedly facilitating the export of a large quantity of drugs hidden in a banana shipment at the Port of Piraeus, authorities reported.

A 35-year-old seaman, member of the crew of a Maltese-flagged cargo ship docked at the Perama shipyard repair zone, was found hanged in his cabin on Wednesday, Piraeus Central Port Authority said.

The man, a foreign national who worked as kitchen cleaner, was transferred to the General Hospital of Nikea where doctors confirmed his death.
