[01] Eight from Turkey found guilty of illegally entering Greece, given
suspended sentences
An Alexandroupolis court on Thursday handed down suspended sentences
for the eight Turkish military officers that crossed the border into
Greece on the night of a failed coup attempt in Turkey, after finding
them guilty of entering Greece illegally.
The eight were each given a two-month sentence suspended for three years,
with the court admitting lack of malice on their part as a mitigating
factor.
They were acquitted of the second charge of carrying out an illegal
flight because Greek legislation only refers to civilian and not military
aircraft.
