Search for:
Ioannis Lagos, a Greek far-right member of the European Parliament, was deported to Greece Saturday to begin serving a 13-year prison sentence.
Lagos spends his first night in isolation in the high-security prison of Domokos, in central Greece.
Lagos’ request that he be held at a prison in Athens, apparently to keep up with his work in the European Parliament, was rejected by authorities.
Lagos lived in Brussels since a Greek court in October convicted him and 17 other former Greek lawmakers from the extreme-right Golden Dawn party of leading a criminal organization or being members in it.
