Filippidis arrived at 9.05 to the Athens International Airport with a Turkish Airlines flight and was conducted to the police headquarters in Athens.
Filippidis’ extradiction to Greece was achieved following Greek Foreign Ministry’s agreement with the Turkish authorities.
The senior banker is wanted in Greece for charges relating to a series of unsecured loans given by Hellenic Postbank when he was at its helm. The Greek authorities’ request is based on a second arrest warrant issued against Filippidis in connection with the same case.
Filippidis had been arrested by Turkish authorities on January 11 in Istanbul based on an international warrant for his arrest issued by Greece for the Hellenic Postbank case.
Greek authorities on Monday sent another request to the Turkish extraditions’ prosecutor, asking that fugitive former Hellenic Postbank (TT) chairman and CEO Angelos Filippidis remain in jail. The request was made in the wake of a Turkish court’s decision for Filippidis’ release.
