Open questions the AI reported
The small amount of cannabis seized in Laconia was not weighed, so it adds nothing to the 851.56-gram total.
The 89 tablets seized in Argolida are described only as narcotic tablets and are not identified as cannabis, so they are not counted in the cannabis weight.
No names, ages or nationalities beyond Greek or foreign-national status were published for the nine people held on drug charges.
No formal charges or court outcome were reported; the arrested were only said to be taken to the competent local prosecutors.
No town or community was named for any of the arrests or seizures, only the five regional units.
The four accounts reproduce the same regional police statement and are not independent reporting.
