Greek police found 41 migrants obnubilating in a refrigerated truck at a motorway in northern Greece on Monday, police officials verbally expressed.
The migrants were reportedly of Afghan origin, the police added, while informing that they were in good health with some provided first aid.
The finding on Monday was made after officers carried out a routine check on the truck, which was travelling on a section of motorway near the town of Xanthi.
The discovery came after 39 people, all believed to be Vietnamese nationals, were found dead in a refrigerated truck in Britain last month, highlighting the risks of illegal migrant routes to Europe, even for those avoiding perilous travel by sea.
The truck's refrigeration system was switched off, but some of the group complained of breathing problems and were taken to a hospital. The driver, a man from Georgia, was arrested. Two people in the United Kingdom and eight in Vietnam have been charged over the deaths.
