1:02Now PlayingGreek authorities said 41 men and boys have been found alive in a refrigerated truck outside the northeastern city of Xanthi on Monday.
Police stopped the vehicle on a motorway after it was believed to have crossed into the country from neighboring Turkey.
All but two - an Iranian and a Syrian - were from Afghanistan, while six were minors, police said.
Eight were treated in hospital for breathing problems, while the others were not found to be suffering from health issues.
Authorities said the refrigeration on the truck hadn't been switched on.
Police arrested the 40-year-old Georgian driver, whose truck had Bulgarian registration plates.
Hundreds of people cross Greece's land and sea border into Turkey each week, the vast majority hoping to make their way to other, more prosperous European countries.
