However, Greek police prevents the boarding of the refugees with fake/stolen IDs most of the time. The few "lucky" ones who manage to board the flight can then ask asylum in the country of arrival.
I suppose if they are caught with stolen ID at ATH, they would be arrested and the ID would be confiscated?
