The decision by the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court to shelve complaints regarding the wiretapping case involving the National Intelligence Service (EYP) sparked controversy between the government and opposition parties. The prosecutor stated there was no connection between the spyware found on phones of politicians and state services.
A 300-page report submitted to the Supreme Court revealed evidence of guilt for four individuals involved with companies linked to the spyware. They are now facing criminal prosecution for breaching phone privacy. The case began in 2022 following claims of state surveillance by politicians and journalists.
While government sources celebrated the decision, opposition parties criticized it as a cover-up. PASOK leader vowed to continue fighting against the “dark state,” while SYRIZA and New Left party leaders condemned the outcome as a “day of shame.” This development has shaken public confidence in the Greek justice system.
The unresolved wiretapping scandal continues to raise questions about privacy and state surveillance in Greece.
