Greek authorities refuse to extradite Sydney man James Dalamangas to Australia after his arrest, according to multiple reports. Dalamangas has been wanted in Australia over an alleged murder dating back nearly 30 years. One report says Greek authorities deliver an update following his arrest, while another states a Greek judge blocks the extradition request. A separate outlet characterises the outcome as a legal victory after decades on the run, highlighting that he has been sought for about 25 years. All accounts focus on the same central development: following his detention in Greece, the extradition process does not proceed because the Greek court or authorities refuse the request. The reports do not provide additional details on the reasons for the refusal or the next steps in the case, but they consistently describe the case as involving an Australian arrest warrant tied to a long-running alleged murder matter and the decision by Greek judicial authorities that prevents him from being returned to Australia at this stage.
