Paleokostas, 'The Uncatchable'
(1/1)
Maik:
--- Quote ---It certainly is the stuff of movies and now that an extensive and gripping feature article detailing his life, bank-robbing and kidnapping exploits and two helicopter prison escapes has appeared on the BBC, fugitive Vassilis Paleokostas (48) could certainly expect that someday his fascinating story could make it to the silver screen.
Researched and written by Los Angeles-based British journalist Jeff Maysh over many months, The Uncatchable takes an immersive approach to explain the biography of a man dubbed Greece’s Robin Hood, because of his legendary habit of distributing the proceeds of his crimes to people in need: from poor farmers, girls needing dowries and migrants.

An almost unbelievable tale but riveting reading. Not that I condone robbery/violence in any way but this will make one hell of an action blockbuster. Cops and robbers, ya can't beat it. Put em' up Spiros !
