Christos Pappas

Christos Pappas (Greek: Χρήστος Παππάς; born 1962, Athens[1]) is a Greek politician, convicted criminal[2] and a former deputy leader of the Greek Parliament for the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party.

Criminal conviction

After a trial lasting five years, on 22 October 2020, Pappas was sentenced to 13 years and 3 months in prison for administrating a criminal organization.[3] As the Greek Police were not able to track him, it was thought that he may have fled abroad and a European arrest warrant was issued.[3]

On 1 July 2021, however, he was arrested at an apartment in Central Athens, Greece.[3] Police also arrested a woman on the charge of offering shelter to the wanted criminal.
