[InTime News]
A police officer on the island of Mykonos has been arrested after admitting to stealing a gold chain from an inmate at the police precinct’s jail.
The inmate, a Syrian national, was held in police custody for three days last week before being slated for deportation.
After her release on Monday, she filed a complaint saying that a gold chain worth 2,500 euros was missing from her personal belongings, which police had confiscated upon her arrest.
An internal investigation identified a 31-year-old female officer as the perpetrator. She admitted to the crime and returned the gold chain to the Syrian woman.
