Convicted Connecticut Official Flees to Greece
Convicted Connecticut Official Flees to Greece
The News
A former Connecticut state budget official convicted of corruption has fled the United States before his sentencing and is now a fugitive in Greece.
He left the country by boat and then by plane, according to reporting by The Independent published Thursday.
The same reporting says the former official admitted he was fearful of going to prison.
Timeline
The Independent reports that the former Connecticut state budget official, convicted of corruption, skipped his sentencing, left the U.S. by boat and plane, and is now a fugitive in Greece.
What's Next
The former official is outside U.S. custody. The reporting available so far does not say what step prosecutors or the court will take next, whether a warrant has been issued, or whether U.S. authorities will seek his return from Greece.
The Frank will update this story as those details are confirmed.
More
Coverage of the case is still thin — two reports from The Independent as of Thursday evening. The Frank is not publishing the man's name, the specific charges, or his sentencing exposure until they are confirmed in the reporting.
