Two more Greek Australians named in SA’s latest AN0M sting arrests

·

Among those charged in the statewide AN0M raids, police have released the identities of Stavros Theoharis and Artemis Triantafillou, all from Adelaide’s northern and inner suburbs.

This comes as Michael Theoharis was named last week.

The Theoharis brothers, Michael, 29, of Paradise, and Stavros, 32, of Paralowie, were among the 38 alleged offenders whose identities were revealed following Wednesday’s early morning operation.

Also arrested was Artemis Triantafillou, 46, of Panorama, who joins a list of South Australians accused of involvement in offences uncovered through Operation Ironside 3.0, a continuation of the joint Australian Federal Police and FBI sting using the encrypted messaging app AN0M to track organised crime.

In total, SA Police made 55 arrests during the coordinated raids, targeting alleged drug dealers, bikies and organised crime figures.

The latest phase follows the 2021 Operation Ironside crackdown, when hundreds were arrested across Australia after authorities secretly monitored AN0M communications.

Legal proceedings continue as several defendants, including those in South Australia, challenge the admissibility of AN0M messages in the High Court.
