Police have busted a phony VIP taxi service in Greece that was using the bank accounts of homeless people to collect deposits from cab drivers.
Police spokesman Christos Parthenis said seven people have been arrested, accused of taking more than €110,000 in deposits from drivers who were promised a customer list that would include officials from the European Commission and the World Health Organisation.
Mr Parthenis said a 66-year-old man and 39-year-old woman, both Greek, were accused of paying panhandlers and homeless people in Athens to use their bank accounts to collect the deposits.
