Three Spanish firefighters working with the NGO Proemaid on the eastern Aegean island of Lesvos are looking for support from European Parliament ahead of standing trial on May 7 on charges of migrant smuggling, Euronews reported on Wednesday.
Seville firemen Manuel Blanco, Julio Latorre and Enrique Rodriguez could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty of charges they say are based on a misunderstanding of their work with the NGO, which has involved rescuing dozens of refugees and migrants attempting the perilous crossing from Turkey into Greece and the European Union.
