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

Intellexa founder, Tal Dilian's lawyer claims in Israeli lawsuit that his sale of the spyware to Greek state authorities was entirely legal

Grigoris Dimitriadis, the prime minister's nephew and former chief of staff, said he "took the bullet" for his boss and vowed never to reveal what he knows. Legal and political observers compared his language to an omertà

Opposition parties accuses ruling majority in Parliament of obstructing legislative oversight in the Predator spyware affair

Ruling party MPs used their committee majority to block opposition requests to summon Predator developer Tal Dilian and Grigoris Dimitriadis, PM Mitsotakis's nephew and former secretary general, arguing neither qualifies as a public figure under parliamentary rules

Two journalists, a former senior police officer and two intelligence officers are among eight Predator targets now pursuing civil claims in Athens against the businessmen and technicians behind the hacking. The case will be heard in 2027

New Democracy is set to use its parliamentary majority to block testimony from Predator developer Tal Dilian, PM Mitsotakis's nephew Grigoris Dimitriadis and ex-Foreign Ministry secretary general Yannis Smyrlis

Samaras says he has repeatedly asked the government for answers, with no response to date

A report by MEGA claims the government is drafting a contentious provision that could soften the legal treatment of the Intellexa founder, and has reportedly split the cabinet. There is no official confirmation by the administration.

As Parliament prepares to revisit the Predator spyware affair, new reports allege the government is considering legislation that could allow foreign defendants linked to national security cases to be tried in their home countries.

The push to compel testimony from Grigoris Dimitriadis, the prime minister's nephew who took the fall and resigned in 2022, and the Israeli businessman behind Predator appears to have the votes to make the summons mandatory.

Report citing alleged 2020 cooperation agreement between Intellexa and intelligence service prompts renewed calls for investigation and access to purported evidence

The surveillance affair—often referred to as the “Predator scandal”—has been an issue of major political acrimony in Greece since 2022.

Tal Dilian, who is appealing his conviction over the Predator spyware scandal, says Greek state agencies operated the system and demands a parliamentary inquiry to clear his name.

Greece's governing party used its parliamentary majority to neutralize minority rights and block scrutiny of two major scandals, deepening tensions in a parliament already struggling with a crisis of public trust.
