The European Union’s border protection agency says it has started collecting the personal data of criminal suspects as part of its mission to screen migrants and refugees reaching Greece.
Frontex, recently renamed the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, says the data concerns migrants “suspected of people smuggling, terrorism, and other cross-border crimes.”
Similar programs were launched in Italy and Spain earlier this year, so that data on suspects can be accessed by law enforcement officials across the EU.
