Here comes Perry. Spare a thought for a couple of VICPOL detectives, dealing with their handcuffed passenger on a long haul flight.. The total flight duration from Rome, Italy to Melbourne, Australia is 20 hours, 22 minutes., 15,981 klms,
then add on the clearance at Rome , collecting him from Regina Coeli, prison, then Da Vinci airport holdups, ... and Border Patrol at Tullamarine, Melbourne.. ..
Usually this is done swiftly, and behind the scenes, he is taken down a specific corridor and into transport on the tarmac, he, unlike the rest of us doesn't have to wheel his baggage , which one has to collect at the scrum on the carousel... he skips those fun times.. .. and then he goes straight to the Remand Centre, to be processed..
''''''Last month, Mr Kouroumblis's Italian lawyer Serena Tucci told the ABC her client was "lucid" and that he had been "surprised" to be arrested.
"He had no idea he could be stopped and was surprised to be stopped for something that went back to 1977 in Australia. So he did not give any resistance. He did exactly what the police told him," she said.
"Then he's just been taking it day-by-day, trying to work out the logistics of how best to face his upcoming trial."
