Thirteen detained after fire near second migrant camp in Greece
16 September, 2020
Thirteen people have already been detained on the Greek island of Samos after a fire threatened the local migrant camp, police said Wednesday, days after another blaze destroyed Europe's major migrant camp on Lesbos.
"We are examining the possible participation of the suspects in the incident," a Samos police source told AFP.
The officer declined to recognize the nationalities of the suspects.
The fire broke out in a forested area near to the Samos camp late on Tuesday, but firefighters could actually place it in order.
The Lesbos fire at Moria camp on September 8 left 12,000 asylum seekers homeless. Police have arrested six migrants regarding the the incident.
