How Greece’s ‘Robin Hood’ became Interpol’s most wanted man dodging law for decades
A WANTED gangster dubbed "The Uncatchable" has fled prison ten times once using a helicopter and managed to evade cops for more than a decade.Rumours about Palaiokostas, from Trikala, spread like wildfire during his criminal career spanning three decades - and suggested that he was helping those in need by sharing his loot.
"The act itself is cinematic, crazy, wild, outlandish but the symbol, I think, is the story that raises a lot of questions. Since his prison escape, Palaiokostas has remained on the run with members of the public likely keeping him hidden or failing to come forward with info about his whereabouts. Linos agrees and says the nickname 'Greek Robin Hood "encapsulates his story perfectly" as there are many stories detailing the kind thief's generous spirit.
The podcast's host Miles Gray and a team of journalists from the US, and the UK travelled to Greece, trying to track him down. Based on their investigation, Linos believes Paliokostas is not active today but remains in hiding - much closer to where everyone might think he is.
