Ruling against man who claimed family were ‘pushback’ victims seen as blow to efforts to make Frontex operations accountable
A Syrian refugee has lost a landmark case against the EU’s border protection agency Frontex after he and his family were forcibly deported from Greece before his asylum application was processed.
The ruling is seen as a major blow to efforts to make the operations of Frontex in Greece and other countries more transparent and accountable to the member states who employ them.
