Attorney General Tong Statement Regarding Kosta Diamantis Pension
09/17/2026
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong released the following statement regarding pension revocation for former state official Kosta Diamantis who has reportedly fled the country in advance of a sentencing hearing scheduled to take place in federal court today. Diamantis was found guilty at trial on October 22, 2025 of multiple counts of extortion, bribery, conspiracy and false statements related to abuse of his state position overseeing school construction contracts.“Kosta Diamantis abused the public trust and will be held accountable. His disappearance this morning is a shameful insult to every person in Connecticut and will not deter our efforts to fully protect the state’s interest and taxpayer dollars. State law requires that my office take action to revoke or reduce the pension of state or municipal officials convicted of corruption-related charges. We are reviewing all legal options to fully enforce the law,” said Attorney General Tong.
