Frontex Assists Greece with Cross-Border Crime Efforts
Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, has begun collecting personal data of persons suspected of people smuggling, terrorism and other cross-border crimes collected as part of its operation in Greece.
The data collection will take place as part of the operational project PeDRA (Processing Personal Data for Risk Analysis), which contributes to the fight against cross-border crime by ensuring that information containing personal data is effectively managed and reported from the operational area to the national and EU levels. At Frontex, the data is used for risk analysis in accordance with data protection principles, and is also transmitted on a daily basis to Europol to support investigations in other countries.
