In operation SHIELD VI, with Greek participation, over 3.1 million pills, 104,000 packages and more than one tonne of illegal and unauthorised products were seized.

Omissions

• Only the headline figure of 'over 3.1 million pills' was directly confirmed by the OLAF/European Commission press release title; the figures of 104,000 packages and more than one tonne of illegal products could not be independently confirmed within the search results available, though they are consistent with the same release.
• Specific Greek participation in Operation SHIELD VI was not confirmed by the sources found; SHIELD is an EU-wide operation involving multiple member states.
• The operation's activity period was 2025 (results published 25–26 February 2026), which is before the session date of 5 October 2026, so the MEP could have known these figures.
• The claim is a bound ('over 3.1 million', 'more than one tonne'); the underlying figures satisfy these lower bounds.
