In this episode of THE HUNTED, host Jon F. Merz details the incredible life of Vassilis Paleokostas, a Greek criminal mastermind who evolved from small electronics thefts to bank robbery and kidnapping billionaires. Beloved by many Greek citizens because of his generosity and distribution of his ill-gotten gains to those in need, this Robin Hood of Greece made millions of dollars during his career. Caught and imprisoned numerous times, Paleokostas engineered two daring helicopter escapes and remains on-the-run to this day.
