Since late 2025, the Greek state has mobilized hundreds of officers to conduct weekly, militarized raids on Roma-majority neighbourhoods in the name of combatting organised crime. Our investigation into these raids exposes Operation ENTOS: a systematic campaign of collective punishment disguised as 'preventive policing' that shows no evidence of organised, widespread criminal activity beyond minor infractions such as irregular electricity connections in communities beset with racialised poverty.

📊 The Data: • 53 documented raids in just 8 months. • Frequency tripled in Spring 2026 to nearly 5 raids per week. • Targets: Entire communities for minor administrative offenses.

🗺️ The Tracker: The ERRC and Greek Helsinki Monitor have built an interactive map tracking every single raid. You can explore the data, see the hot-spots, and read the official police reports that prove this is a state-sanctioned campaign, here: https://europeanromarightscentre.github.io/Mapping-ENTOS/
