Konstantinos Diamantis Flees to Greece Ahead of Sentencing for Corruption

Konstantinos Diamantis fled to Greece using a combination of boat and air travel before his federal corruption sentencing.
He was convicted of extorting contractors for bribes related to school construction projects and faces a potential prison sentence of 10 to 12 years.
Connecticut officials condemned his actions and have moved to halt his state pension benefits.
A new sentencing date has been set for September 30, and the hearing will proceed regardless of Diamantis's attendance.
