In 2022, it was revealed that the Greek National Intelligence Service (EYP) had been surveilling journalists, politicians, businesspeople, and public officials, while the Predator spyware was simultaneously used to illegally monitor their mobile phones. This site documents the full scope of the scandal through primary sources, court testimony, and investigative reporting.
To Vima reveals that Intellexa had joined a consortium of companies for which there was preparatory work for funding from European funds of approximately three million euros, through the Security Studies Centre (KEMEA) of the Hellenic Police (ELAS). This consortium had signed a cooperation agreement with the Technological Support, Development and Innovation Centre (KETYAK) of the Greek Intelligence Service (EYP). According to the report, the head of the consortium had a series of contacts with political figures who pointed him towards the relevant funding option through KEMEA as well as Intellexa's participation.
Tal Dilian states to Inside Story: "The decision did not present a single piece of evidence proving my personal involvement in the specific interventions. [...] On the contrary, many witnesses mentioned the possible involvement of EYP. The decision itself refers to the use of identities linked to senior government officials, yet no attempt was made to fully investigate these leads. [...] By design, our software does not allow anyone outside the service to know the targets and be informed about the operations conducted by national services. National services determine the targets and execute the operation without our knowledge."
Adonis Georgiadis, speaking on ANT1's Kalimera Ellada show, states that "anyone who does my job and believes that no one is monitoring their phone is not suited for this job. So simple as that." He continues, adding that "what are we discussing now, about the phone in 2026? Come on, please. It's completely irrelevant," before concluding by saying "You didn't ask for my opinion? Irrelevant issue, completely. Just be careful that the phone doesn't have anything that matters."
