The Bulgarian border authorities sent a freight train back to Greece last Saturday amid suspicions it was transporting migrants onboard, the BNR reporter Nikolay Hristov informs. The train was sent back to Greece after a regular inspection at a railway station near the Bulgaria-Greece border. The Bulgarian and the Greek border guards heard voices coming out of the carriages. However, they were unable to inspect the content of the carriages, because they were sealed. That is why the authorities decided to send the freight train back to Greece, the Bulgarian Border Police informs.
