Russian Monk Found Guilty of Illegal Residence in Greece
A Russian monk was arrested and prosecuted for living in Greece without a permit for the last three years.
He allegedly resided at the Aghios Panteleimonas Monastery, also known as the Russian Monastery, in the all-male monastic community of Mt Athos in northern Greece.
The monk was arrested at the Thessaloniki International Airport while trying to travel to Moscow through Istanbul, as he did not have the required legal documents to reside in Greece.
According to reports, the monk came to Greece in 2022 on a two-month residence permit, which expired. He then visited Mt Athos, where he was issued a three-day permit, but remained there for over three years.
I was planning to return to my country in 2022, but could not find a ticket.
The monk's testimony revealed his initial intention to return to his country, but he was unable to do so due to circumstances.
