But it was forced to divert to the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki after two passengers become 'drunk, unruly and started shouting at fellow passengers and crew'. According to the authorities, two Russian men, aged 48 and 39, were arrested. They have since been charged with disturbing the peace, disrupting transport and disobeying the crew’s instructions.There was no physical altercation, authorities said. After they were charged, the two men were released pending trial.
This will take place in November and they are not obligated to attend, but will be represented by their lawyers. Having arrived in Greece without a visa, they were led to a police precinct but were expected to be put on a flight to Turkey later on Sunday.
