Scandal spreads to Greece
Bulgarian agents of the Chinese company COSCO Shipping Lines – Three Stars, managed by Ivaylo Nedev and with involvement of Vladimir Demirov, are implicated in a new scandal now reaching Greece. Reports indicate that the Greek government granted COSCO and their Bulgarian agents permission to build a port.
Greek ports, especially the Port of Thessaloniki and the Port of Piraeus in Athens, are notorious for being key transit points for cocaine and heroin from Latin America to Europe.
COSCO and state links to drug trafficking
COSCO Shipping Lines, as a Chinese state-owned shipping company, plays a crucial role in container transport and shipping lines worldwide. Evidence suggests that some Chinese government officials have been implicated in heroin trafficking to Europe, raising concerns about the integrity of international trade and transport operations.
Risks and consequences
The approval for building a new port in Greece for COSCO and Three Stars raises serious questions about container security and potential connections to drug trafficking, especially in critical hubs such as Thessaloniki and Piraeus.
Experts warn that container transport and shipping lines could be exploited for illegal goods, including cocaine and heroin, without strict international oversight.
