James Dalamangas, a 56-year-old Australian fugitive, has been arrested in Greece after nearly 30 years of evading law enforcement. He is accused of the murder of George Giannopoulos, who was fatally stabbed in 1999 while attempting to break up a fight at the Pariziana nightclub in Belmore, Sydney. After the incident, a warrant was issued for Dalamangas's arrest, but he reportedly fled to Greece, where he lived under various aliases and worked as a farmer. His arrest occurred when he allegedly provided false information during a police check and confessed to being wanted in Australia. Following a raid on his home, Greek authorities discovered weapons, including a crossbow and multiple mobile phones. He now faces charges for weapons offenses and making false statements. Australian authorities are expected to request his extradition, and local media reports indicate that his family members were also arrested for allegedly harboring him. The Giannopoulos family has expressed relief at the news of Dalamangas's arrest.
