Alexandros Angelopoulos

Known as the 'Greek Escobar', Alexandros Angelopoulos is a notorious figure in the international drug trade, particularly involved in the trafficking of cocaine from Latin America to Europe. His criminal activities have spanned several decades, with significant arrests and convictions, including a 20-year prison sentence for his role in a major drug smuggling operation in 2004. Recently, he was in the news due to his arrest alongside nine associates by Greek authorities for attempting to transport five tons of cocaine aboard a fishing vessel named 'Urania' from Martinique. Law enforcement has been monitoring Angelopoulos and his network for months, leading to this major bust, which underscores his ongoing influence and efforts to reestablish his drug trafficking operations.
