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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Supreme Court Prosecutor Tzavellas sent a letter instead of appearing before parliament, as PASOK leader Androulakis accused the intelligence service of flouting a court ruling and threatened legal action.

Citing constitutional separation of powers, Supreme Court prosecutor Tzavellas follows a well-worn judicial playbook used by his predecessors to resist parliamentary scrutiny of the Predator spyware case.

An EU commissioner's warm words after meeting Prime Minister Mitsotakis gave the Greek government political cover, even as polls show most Greeks believe the rule of law does not exist in their country.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis's government is back on the defensive over the Predator surveillance scandal, after his nephew and former chief of staff claimed in an interview that he resigned in 2022 to protect the administration.
