Ten migrants posing as a volleyball team were arrested at Athens' International Airport trying to travel with illegally obtained passports, Greek police said on Sunday. Police said the migrants, who had entered Greece without legal documents, arrived at the Eleftherios Venizelos airport on Saturday hoping the disguise would get them past controls more easily.
They wore matching outfits, carried matching sports bags and, for good measure, brought two volleyballs. But border police established that the passports they presented had been illegally obtained, and arrested the group. According to police sources, they are Syrian nationals who had hoped to travel to Zurich with Ukrainian passports.
