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

A Citizen Lab forensic report says former Greek MEP Stelios Kouloglou was infected while sitting on the very EU committee investigating Pegasus. No links to any government have been discovered yet.
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.
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.
Israeli firm NSO Group allegedly defied a US court order and sent malicious messages to WhatsApp users
The surveillance affair—often referred to as the “Predator scandal”—has been an issue of major political acrimony in Greece since 2022.
Despite the trial court's own call for further investigation, Greece's Supreme Court prosecutor ruled the Predator spyware case closed, leaving its deepest questions officially unanswered.
Four businessmen convicted in the first instance of involvement in a surveillance scandal will face a retrial in December 2026, as investigations continue into possible espionage charges and additional suspects.
