The Greek police said this week it has sealed eight petrol stations across the country as part of an ongoing crackdown on a major fuel smuggling ring.
Authorities said the stations were located in the greater Athens area – in Ano Liosia, Kamatero, Agioi Anargyroi and Palaio Faliro, as well as in Trikala, Epirus and Laconia. One of the stations in Athens had already been shut down following a previous inspection. Police said further checks are under way at three additional stations and three warehouses containing illegal fuel tanks.
According to police, the ring illegally distributed more than 1.34 million liters of gasoline and over 212,000 liters of chemical solvents in 2025 alone. The illicit trade is estimated to have generated at least 3 million euros ($3.3 million) in profits for the organization.
