Panos Anastasiou, 76, allegedly sent more than 465 threatening messages from March of 2023 to July of 2024.
An Anchorage man is jailed on charges that he threatened to hurt and kill U.S. Supreme Court justices and their family members.
Anastasiou allegedly sent more than 465 threatening messages to six Supreme Court justices through an online portal from March 2023 to July 2024. The messages were violent, racist and homophobic and included threats of torture and hanging, according to the indictment. According to a Wednesday court filing supporting prosecutors’ assertion that Anastasiou should be jailed pending trial, FBI agents contacted him in the spring of 2023 to talk about the messages he had sent up to that point.
Neither the indictment or the memorandum includes the names of the six justices Anastasiou was alleged to have threatened, but they appear to be the Supreme Court’s 6-3 majority of conservative justices, including Justice Clarence Thomas.
