Greek Pilot’s Life Imprisonment Upheld for Murdering Wife


The Mixed Jury Court of Appeal in Athens upheld the life imprisonment sentence for the Greek helicopter pilot who murdered his 19-year-old British wife, Caroline Crouch, a crime he tried to pin on merciless foreign robbers.

Babis Anagnostopoulos, now 34, was also sentenced to 11.5 years in prison and fined 21,000 euros for strangling his wife’s puppy and obstructing justice.

His defense had argued that the sentence should be reduced due to mitigating circumstances, but the prosecutor rejected this argument, characterizing the case as one of the most heinous crimes of the past decades.

Anagnostopoulos murdered his wife at their home in the east Attica suburb of Glyka Nera in May 2021, with their infant daughter present.
