Competent sources said that the checks will be carried out within the next two weeks. The last time ADAE auditors visited the facilities of the three services was in the fall of 2021. In fact, the reference to the audit is also contained in the annual incident report, which was officially released to the public about twenty-four hours ago.

According to competent sources of information, after the completion of the audit, the Office began more formal observations regarding the security policy of the National Intelligence Service.

However, it should not be ruled out that they will request – namely from EEM – confidential documents that the employees of the service presented to the prosecutor Vasiliki Vlachos in order to justify the removal of secrecy from two mobile phones.
