He is still free..
It is also the story of his motivations.
A Normal Life is a gripping account of life on the run and in prison, of car chases, prison life, daring escapades and the camaraderie of bandit life.
He does not justify his actions, but elaborates his motivations and dreams and their totality.
Now, translated to English for the first time, Palaiokostas tells his story in his own words.
Vassilis Palaiokostas is hated by the authorities, deemed a terrorist, his freedom a continued insult to the Greek state.
He is most famous for not only one but two helicopter escapes from the Korydallos Prison in Athens.
He has become a modern folk hero of sorts, earning millions in robbed banks and kidnapped CEOs whilst distributing his gains to those who need it most.
It is a life led extraordinarily.
For decades it has been a life lived as a fugitive.
A life lived in defiance of the police and of the state.
His is a life of kidnappings and robberies.

I never legislated, I never enforced, and I never obeyed any laws! Laws dictated by the interests of a handful of rulers
