A former Connecticut state budget official, Kosta Diamantis, has fled the U.S. by boat and plane before his sentencing for corruption and is now a fugitive in Greece, according to reports from ABC News and CBS News. Diamantis was convicted of corruption and faced up to 10 years in prison, as stated by his lawyer and prosecutors. His escape has raised concerns about the enforcement of legal proceedings and the potential challenges in bringing him back to the U.S. for sentencing. The situation highlights the complexities of international fugitive cases and the need for cooperation between countries to ensure justice is served. Authorities are likely working with Greek officials to locate and apprehend Diamantis, though no further details have been provided in the latest reports.
