1,489 years. That’s the prison sentence one migrant smuggler was just handed

1,489 years

That’s how long a court in Greece just sentenced one man for smuggling in migrants over the Turkish border from Iraq and Syria.

The court in the coastal city of Thessaloniki found a 54-year-old Greek man guilty of running a smuggling ring that funneled more than 500 refugees into Europe in 2015 and 2016, the Associated Press reported (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/greece-man-sentenced-to-1489-years-for-migrant-smuggling/2017/12/18/6e18e96c-e405-11e7-927a-e72eac1e73b6_story.html).

Is he eligible for parole?

He can apply in 3417 AD providing he has a good behaviour record in the meantime.  Let me know if I'm wrong!   :rofl:
