A Greek serial rapist, sentenced to 53 years in prison for the rape of six British tourists on the Greek island of Corfu, but released seven years later, is again wanted on suspicion of the rape of an Albanian woman.
A woman found in a hut
According to information from the Athens News Agency published on Saturday, police found this 34-year-old woman reported missing by her friend on Friday in a hut in the Lefkimmi region of the Ionian Islands.

The woman reported being kidnapped and raped several times by the man, who was convicted in 2012 but released last August under a law passed by the previous government.
The woman's companion added that they had met the 47-year-old man who had returned to Lefkimmi after his release the previous night. However, the rapist had to report to the police once a month and was prohibited from leaving Corfu Island, a holiday destination for thousands of tourists each year.
On the run for six weeks in the woods
After finding her, the police transported the woman to the general hospital with minor injuries, pending further examinations. The suspect is still at large. In 2010, police found and arrested the man after a six-week run in the woods.
