The public prosecutors investigating the phone tapping case on Tuesday sent a formal request to the National Intelligence Service (EYP), asking it to confirm or deny that it had intercepted the communications of politicians, military officers and other individuals included in various lists that have been made public.
The public prosecutors’ office has already organised raids by the police cybercrime unit at the company premises, offices and possibly the residences of executives of the companies involved in the affair. According to sources, it also sent a request to EYP asking for official answers regarding the publication of lists of names of individuals whose communications have allegedly been intercepted.
The two prosecutors that are conducting the investigation, Aggeliki Triantafyllou and Constantinos Spyropoulos, ordered raids, among others, on the companies Intellexa, which trades in the spyware Predator, and Krikel, which appears to be directly linked to Intellexa.
The other raids were on companies and individuals that were also linked, either directly or via legal or natural entities, with these two companies in some way, such as by having common headquarters, for example, or the same persons as shareholders.
In the meantime, the prosecutors are continuing their inquiry and following up all the leads they find, including evidence uncovered by investigative journalists and information from various other sources, putting this in their file so that it can all be studied and evaluated.
