With a new session of Parliament’s Committee on Institutions and Transparency still pending to examine Intellexa founder Tal Dilian and the Prime Minister’s former Secretary General Grigoris Dimitriadis, a report published by the newspaper Dimokratia under the headline “August Coup” claims that the government is preparing legislation this summer that would allow third-country nationals, such as the accused Dilian, to be tried in their home countries when prosecuted for offenses related to state security activities or defense technology.

Legal sources have described such a move as a major scandal if an attempt is made to pursue it. Tal Dilian has already threatened to make revelations, suggesting that he possesses evidence proving a relationship between Greece’s National Intelligence Service (EYP) and Intellexa.

At the same time, according to TO BHMA and journalist Vasilis Lambropoulos, Dilian is in possession of an official state document, functioning as a letter of recommendation, which certifies the successful operation of the illegal Predator spyware in order to facilitate its export to third countries.

Dilian’s side is also reportedly citing a 2020 cooperation agreement between EYP and Intellexa, as well as emails containing communications between employees of the National Intelligence Service and employees of the company.

Opposition parties are calling for the immediate convening of the Committee on Institutions and Transparency.

The committee is expected to make its decisions within the next few days.
