After Cyprus closed its inquiry into the so-called black van affair, the Intellexa founder said in a statement that the push to link it to the Predator wiretapping scandal rested on a narrative rather than facts

PASOK leader says the scandal will only end once those who built a "deep state" face justice, in an in.gr interview

A serving EYP officer's complaint says he was targeted with Predator during one of his most sensitive postings, and revives the question of what became of the data seized from victims' phones

The lawyer argues the infiltration exposed the inner workings of Greece's intelligence service, and that the question of what was taken, and by whom, has never been answered

It is the first time a serving intelligence officer whose own phone was infected with Predator has asked the courts to treat the wiretapping affair as a crime against national security, a move his lawyer says could open a new line of inquiry

The former SYRIZA minister says he is challenging violations of his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights, criticizing the handling of the case by Greek judicial authorities

Thanasis Koukakis has filed a complaint against Greece, alleging failures to independently investigate his surveillance by the intelligence service and Predator spyware and violations of his rights

Zacharias Kesses, the lawer who represents many Predator wiretapping victims, wrote in Ta Nea that Greece's Supreme Court Prosecutor's Office has repeatedly used procedural reasoning to avoid investigating the country's spyware scandal.

For four years now, the Predator spyware case has repeatedly faded from view, only to flare up and return to the forefront. But as long as the matter remains unresolved, it comes at a cost

Government under fire over the new shelving of the wiretapping case by the Supreme Court - Accusations of an "attempted cover-up" and "burying" the high-profile case

Controversial decision in the wiretapping case

The legal grounds cited by the Supreme Court prosecutor were criticized by lawyer Zacharias Kesses.

The government will thus continue to hide behind the archiving of the serious allegations.

Citizens need to see at last the restoration of institutional function, the country's genuine return to a democratic "normality.

An Athens civil court has ruled that reporting on Grigoris Dimitriadis's role in the Predator wiretapping scandal was journalism in the public interest — the first ruling of its kind among 22 lawsuits he has filed against the same outlet

The court found that Koukakis based his reporting and commentary on the evidence available at the time.

At the same time, the Commission acknowledged incremental reform in Greece, while continuing to pressure on Rule of Law foundations such as media freedom and transparency

Legal experts following developments in the case believe that the absence, both politically and judicially, of satisfactory answers as to what actually happened and who was responsible has turned the wiretapping affair into "a boiling cauldron,"

Zacharias Kesses lodged the request at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, citing Tal Dilian's Israeli court filing as new evidence that the Intellexa founder sold Predator to Greek authorities

The Intellexa founder admitted in a court filing in Israel that he sold the Predator spyware to the Greek state. His victims' lawyer is calling for the Greek Supreme Court prosecutor to act on the new information now, without waiting for an Israeli court to rule
