Hired to Kill

Nico Mastorakis is a Greek filmmaker, director and radio producer. At the age of 18 Mastorakis as a young reporter with the Greek newspaper Ethnikos Kirikas scored his first international scoop, an exclusive interview with the exiled Princess Soraya. Later, as an investigative reporter for the... daily Messimvrini, adding to multiple award-winning reports, he created the first "automobile page" in Greek press. In his last job as a reporter for the daily Apogevmatini he posed as a musician for the group of popular singer Yanni Poulopoulos and gained access to Onassis’ yacht, the Christina where Onassis was hosting Jackie and Ted Kennedy. He used a Minox camera hidden behind the strings of his guitar to take photos but was inevitably discovered by Ted's security men and although managing to fly out of Scorpios with his negatives intact he was later arrested by the junta's secret police and detained for the night while his negatives were discovered and confiscated.
