Greek crime boss shot in failed helicopter prison escape attempt
This sounds more like a movie than the movie itself. Over 500 rounds were fired as associates tried to spring crime boss Panagiotis Vlastos from Trikala jail using a helicopter and a rope-ladder. It was the fourth escape attempt for Vlastos who was shot in the legs and is recovering in prison hospital. No-one was heard to shout "cut!" or complain about the lighting.
Inevitably the escape attempt got a lot of press coverage. Read reports here (with a picture of the copter closing in) and here and for a profile of Vlastos from the useful Greek Criminal Profiles blog here
Daily Mail and Independent were among others that covered the story.
