BBC investigations have revealed that Greek authorities have recruited migrants as "mercenaries" to carry out violent returns of other migrants to Turkey, including beatings, robberies and sexual assaults, in breach of international law.

Internal police documents show that the use of migrant mercenaries was ordered and supervised by senior officers.

The brutality allegations include stripping, physical and sexual assaults on migrants. The use of these mercenaries has been going on since at least 2020, according to testimonies and leaked transcripts.

Independent sources, including former mercenaries and immigrants, report extreme violence, including beatings to the point of unconsciousness.

The investigation was conducted in collaboration with the Consolidated Rescue Group (CRG) and based on a video and accounts given by a disgruntled smuggler.

The Evros land border with Turkey stretches for 200 km and is part of the external European Union. Since 2015, Greece has received over a million migrants, mainly through sea crossings, but also along this militarized border.

Mercenaries, self-identified as migrants from Pakistan, Syria and Afghanistan, are used to repel up to hundreds of people a week.

The Greek prime minister said he was “completely unaware” of the allegations. Authorities have not provided detailed comment on the allegations of using migrants as mercenaries.
