Fights, violence, theft and other crimes are plaguing an Olympic Stadium turned refugee reception center outside of Athens, where riots are repeatedly erupting among the “more than 2,000” refugees housed there.

“I paid them but they beat me up. They had stolen my mobile phone,” one unidentified immigrant told Russia Today. “There was seven of them. They escaped the camp. Afterwards, three police buses came and took everyone …. Innocent people were taken and those who were actually attacking people weren’t taken away.”

“There are so many violations of law at the camp,” another migrant said.

Police have detained more than 100 refugees at the stadium, located in Paleo Faliro outside of Athens.

During one flair up Saturday, an alleged extortion scheme forced police to intervene, though the immigrants had pretty much trashed the place by that time.

Russia Today reports “a group of Moroccans tried to sell protection to other refugees,” and carried out threats of harm when some didn’t comply.

“I was told that a group of Moroccans were blackmailing people to give them money, or be forced to leave,” Greek Alternative Minister Yiannis Mouzalas told Greek MEGA TV.

The ProtoThema weekly reported another fight that took place Thursday over a stolen cell phone sent three to the hospital, according to RT.com.

The fights apparently stem from a combination of overcrowded conditions for numerous different factions of migrants flooding into the country, and follow the closing of another camp near the border of Macedonia last week.

“There are Moroccans, Algerians, Yemenis, Eritreans, it’s easy for a brawl to break out,” Palio Faliro Mayor Dionysis Hatzidakis told the news site.

Images of the facility, a former Olympic Tae Kwon Do Center, show refugees packed into the building, each staking out spots with tents or blankets. Outside, clothes hang to dry along a fence that borders the lot. Inside, smashed windows and furniture, and lots of other damage, serve as a reminder of the constant riots.

At least one former Greek diplomat believes officials must sort through the influx of migrants to separate out those legitimately seeking asylum, and avoid continued problems from conflicting factions.

“Greek authorities are trying to give them refuge so that they could be safe from the cold weather that is here, and they are not in a position to separate the migrant people from refugees from war zones,” Leonidas Chrystanthopolus told VIMAonline.GR. “Now what happens among themselves is something that’s difficult for us to find out and explain.

“We think that the best way to avoid such clashes is to separate the refugees from war zones from the economic migrants, put them in separate places, which is not being done by the government,” he said.

The Guardian reports that more than 790,000 men, women and children have flooded into Greece since January, and many are protesting their accommodations at the Paleo Faliro Olympic Stadium and other housing locations.

“We sleep on the floor, there are no mattresses, there is no hot water,” 36-year-old Palestinian Mohammad said, according to RT.

The European Union on Monday pledged to spend about $88 million to Greece to house another 20,000 refugees through a series of programs, including opening vacant flats in Athens in what one official described as a “mutually beneficial” arrangement, the Guardian reports.

According to the news site, Greece and Italy are witnessing an increase in asylum seekers because many travel through the country to central European countries that closed their borders to those who are not from a conflict zone. Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras said he’s concerned the current situation is turning his country into “a repository of trapped souls.”

Meanwhile, Greek officials are trying to figure out what to do with the 2,000-plus immigrants in the Paleo Faliro facility, as it must be vacated for planned sporting events next week.

Alternative minister for migration Yannis Mouzalas told The Guardian the government has “no idea” where they’ll go.

“They will go somewhere similar, but we don’t know where,” he said.

Leaders of many Greek municipalities have also complicated efforts to accommodate the refugees by flatly rejecting to allow them in, citing security concerns, the Guardian reports.
