The Record

Before a judge sentenced him to eight years in prison Friday, Georgios Spyropoulos remained silent while being portrayed as a cold-blooded and remorseless would-be killer who caused his uncle and former boss at the Tick Tock Diner to live in fear, irreparably damaging an iconic Clifton business and splitting apart a once close-knit family.

His sentencing in Superior Court in Paterson ended a public family drama that centered on one of the most famous diners in North Jersey and the plot by its former manager to torture and kill his uncle because of a grudge over money. Spyropoulos declined to make a statement.

He pleaded guilty in July to conspiring to murder Alexandros Sgourdos by trying to hire a hit man who turned out to be a state police officer.
