An Athens appeals court on Monday upheld life sentences against convicted crime boss Panayiotis Vlastos and two more members of his crime syndicate.

The court rejected the appeals of Vlastos, Giorgos Katsayiannis and Aristomenis Kleftoyiannis, who had been sentenced to life terms. It also upheld sentences of between seven and 18 years for another 11 people.
