Four people, including two Turks, have been sentenced to a total of 282 years in prison in Greece for human trafficking.

Two Turkish nationals and two Syrian nationals arrested on a boat carrying 138 illegal migrants to Greece last year were found guilty of human trafficking by a court in Heraklion, the administrative capital on the island of Crete.

Two of the human traffickers, aged 42 and 31, were sentenced to a combined total of 142 years in prison, while the other two, aged 48 and 31, were jailed for a total of 140 years.
