Greek marine security boss faces heat over refugee NGO

Greek police have cracked down on a refugee rescue outfit set up by Panos Moraitis, accusing members of money laundering, spying and other charges.

Four members of the Piraeus-­based Emergency Response Centre International (ERCI) — the non-­governmental organisation (NGO) founded in 2015 by Moraitis, the chief of Aspida Maritime Security — are in detention on the Greek island of Lesbos.
