The migrants consisted of 13 Somalis and two Pakistanis, police said. They were uncovered during customs checks after the trucks exited a ferry from Igoumenitsa, northwestern Greece. The minors were taken to an immigration center in Italy, while the adult migrants were being sent back to Greece, according to EU protocol which says migrants must register in the European country in which they first set foot.
