The 56-year-old Greek-Australian national was wanted in connection with the 1999 murder of a fellow Greek man in Sydney. Dalamaga<\/strong>s was arrested in June 2026 in Aigio, a town in the Achaea region of the northern Peloponnese, where he had reportedly lived for years under a false identity. He was subsequently released on restrictive terms pending the Court of Appeals\u2019 decision.<\/p>\n A central argument from the defence was that the offence is barred by the statute of limitations under Greek law, whereas homicide carries no such time limit in Australia. This issue had been a key focus throughout the proceedings.<\/p>\n With Wednesday\u2019s ruling, the Patras Court of Appeals rejected the Australian request, marking a notable development in one of the more prominent recent cases of international judicial cooperation.<\/p>\n The post Greek Court Blocks Extradition of James Dalamagas appeared first on Greek City Times.<\/p>\n
