Symi: Two Egyptian Workers Arrested for Attempted Molestation of Boys – Shocking Video Claims

Tensions have arisen in Symi in recent days after two foreign workers were arrested following numerous complaints of seduction and indecent acts against minors. The two men are alleged to have approached children and teenagers in areas where they gathered, offering money.

According to testimonies, one of the incidents occurred in the early hours of May 1, 2026, around two o’clock after midnight, at the waterfront of Symi.

Four minors were subjected to indecent gestures and acts by a 27-year-old Egyptian. The children managed to escape terrified and sought refuge in a relative’s shop. Reports indicate that a similar incident had occurred earlier that same week.
