Family of murder suspect Perry Kouroumblis claim he was tricked into Rome trip

·

According to his family, Easey Street murder suspect Perry Kouroumblis, was enticed to Rome under the guise of a possible property deal before being taken into custody upon his arrival.

His brother, Andreas Kouroumblis, said Perry did not travel to Italy as a tourist but to meet with a Greek Australian investor.

“I can only say it was a trap,” he told The Age.

Andreas refused to give further details about the alleged deal.

Perry’s other brother Tony added, “He met him [the investor] about three months ago and then arranged [for him] to go to Italy… Totally set up.”

Fernando Speziali, chief commissioner of border police at Fiumicino Airport, said police began monitoring flights on September 18 after receiving an Interpol alert.

“We received a report from Interpol, which had received information from our Australian colleagues, indicating the possible arrival of a wanted man coming to Italy from Greece,” Speziali said.

After questioning passengers who fit the detailed descriptions, they identified the Greek national and detained him.

“He was neither co-operative nor did he resist… He closed in on himself, he did not share any information,” Speziali added.
