The police had planned the arrest carefully. As soon as Iliopoulos was in custody, a team swept his hotel room, looking for documents or electronic devices that might contain evidence about the Brillante. Detectives were waiting for him at a bunker-like police station in the City, where they asked him to empty his pockets. True to his courtroom testimony about avoiding technology, Iliopoulos wasn’t even carrying a phone. Officers also found nothing of substance at his hotel. It was as though he’d been expecting the room to be searched.
