Migration and Asylum Minister Thanos Plevris says authorities have already shut down four illegal mosques and are working to close up to 60 unlicensed Islamic worship sites across the Greek capital.
Many of the sites were operating out of basements, apartments, warehouses and garages without planning permission, safety approvals or official registration.
The law makes opening or operating an unlicensed place of worship a criminal offense punishable by 2 to 6 months in prison, fines and automatic deportation for foreign nationals.
Among those already targeted are Bangladeshi nationals who operated illegal prayer sites.
One had his residence permit revoked and was ordered deported, while four others were arrested and placed into deportation proceedings.
