The tale of a hijacking — a message of resistance against the Junta… January 2, 1969. Giorgos Flavouridis-Paravolidakis, a Cretan construction worker monitored and marked by the dictatorial regime, diverts an Olympic Airways aircraft, owned by Onassis, from its intended route to Athens and directs it to Cairo.
A shock for Papadopoulos and the media, which tried to bury the event… Diplomatic pressure from Athens for the extradition of the perpetrator ultimately results in his imprisonment in Egyptian jails, from where he finds freedom… in Sweden.
All the details… What the press reported and what it didn’t during those days.
