Editing Southern Europe (section)

== Late Vriend Era investigations ==

During the late [[Vriend Era]], parts of Southern Europe were used by the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] and the [[World Economic Order]] for maritime access, financial coordination, procurement, private meetings, and cross-border transport. Italy became important through Mediterranean ports, industrial centres, banking contacts, and routes through the Alpine region.<ref name="italy-tanoa"/>

Greece provided access to ports in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean. Tanoa-linked intermediaries used Greek shipping contacts, customs offices, commercial transport, and Balkan road routes. World Economic Order meetings were also held in Athens, Thessaloniki, and private coastal locations.<ref name="greece-tanoa"/>

After the collapse of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen on 30 November 2024, Italian and Greek authorities began investigations into officials, port administrations, financial intermediaries, customs offices, and private contractors. Italy entered a period of government restructuring after compromised central offices were dissolved or reorganized. Greece removed officials from several government and port-related institutions as part of its own administrative restructuring.<ref name="italy-restructuring"/><ref name="greece-politics"/>
