Golden Dawn deputy behind bars after nine months on the run

Christos Pappas was last of far-right group's cadres to evade justice after dozens of operatives jailed last year

The far-right extremist long regarded as Golden Dawn's chief ideologue has been placed behind bars after nine months on the run, starting a 13-year prison sentence handed down by a Greek court in October.

Flushed out of his lair - a flat where he had been hiding in Athens - Christos Pappas, the now-defunct group's deputy leader, was driven in a whirl of sirens on Friday from police headquarters to the courts and then on to jail in central Greece.
