Lecturer cleared of airport bomb ‘joke’
18.10.08
A university lecturer who joked about having a bomb in his luggage while checking in at Leeds Bradford Airport, was cleared of charges by a court on Friday. Greek national Efthymios Zagorianakos said he was trying make the man at the KLM business class check-in desk smile.
He denied a charge of communicating false information with intent. A jury at Leeds Crown Court took two hours and 46 minutes to find him not guilty. Mr Zagorianakos, 40, of Hawkshead Way, Bradford, a lecturer in geography and environmental management at Bradford University, thanked the jury.
