Greek-Australian fugitive to walk free pending extradition ruling

A Greek-Australian man named James Dalamangas, who has been wanted by Australian authorities for 27 years over an alleged murder, has been released from detention in Greece pending an extradition ruling. Dalamangas, 55, was arrested near the town of Aigio in the Peloponnese region after a significant police operation. He was initially sentenced to two years and nine months in prison for weapons law violations and providing false testimony, though this sentence was suspended pending appeal. Dalamangas is accused of fatally stabbing another Greek Australian, George Giannopoulos, outside a Sydney nightclub in 1999. The incident occurred when Dalamangas attempted to intervene in a fight. A judicial panel in Patra, northwest Peloponnese, will decide whether to extradite him to Australia.
