Wanted fugitive Artemis Sorras has been arrested by Attica Security Police in the greater Athens area, on the basis of an arrest warrant issued against him, sources said on Saturday.
Police had been searching for Sorras, who stands accused of various counts of fraud, since March 2017. He was finally tracked down to a house in Alimos, rented from a family member, in the southern suburbs of Athens. Sorras did not present any resistance to the officers making the arrest, the sources said. Arrested with him was a 45-year-old supporter, who happened to be with him at the time of the police raid.
He is now being held at the Attica Security headquarters and will be led before a public prosecutor on Sunday.
