Rapid Release and Recidivism in the Case of Th.K.
September 30, 2025
61-year-old Th.K. from Greece was sentenced to 14 years in prison for drug trafficking but was released after four years. Shortly after his release, he was arrested again for trafficking 97 kilograms of cannabis and 5 kilograms of cocaine. His case raises questions about the speed of his release and how he managed to return to criminal activity. Th.K. had previously been arrested for importing 64 kilograms of cannabis to Cyprus in 2018. This situation highlights the weaknesses in the criminal justice system.
