Governor takes aim at flyposters

Attica Regional Governor Giorgos Patoulis has called for traffic police to take action against people who put up illegal posters in the city because of the threat they pose to citizens. 

Patoulis said the uncontrolled phenomenon of flyposting is a safety concern that could put people's lives at risk.
