“In an important exposure of the modus operandi and infiltration of foreign services into our country, National Intelligence Service“, she said in a post.

“In particular, the investigations systematically carried out by the EMP based on the information collected have proved that the alleged “Maria T.”, who in recent years claimed to be Greek and actively worked as a photographer and owner of a craft and knitting shop in Athens, with Greek citizenship and identity as of 2018she is actually a foreigner”Irina A.S.“, who operated in our country under “deep cover”.

The countdown to exposure began with the discovery of an attempt by a third country to access the data of deceased Greek citizens, which is an internationally recognized practice by the intelligence services of a particular country to create a special category of spies, nicknamed “illegal immigrants“.

“illegals” recruited and trained by the services of a particular foreign countryin order to place themselves in target countries, and then undertake espionage activities in favor of their country.

To protect their true identities, they use “deep cover”, which is created by falsifying individual documents and using certificates obtained from data on stillborn children or people who have passed away.

From the moment they are placed abroad, the “illegals” live and behave according to a fabricated story created for them to protect their mission.

profile and action “Mary T.” refers directly to a special category of “illegals”.

The case just uncovered by the Ministry of Defense is typical of the mindset and actions of specific services, as well as the construction of the personality and profile of “T.” they worked systematically for many years, with the appropriate exploitation of persons, procedures and institutions, so that finally the foreign “Irina” lived and was recognized as the Greek “Mary”, deceiving even the people closest to her in Greece, who clearly do not know the real her personality.

Obviously, the action “T.” it will not be restricted to Greek territorybecause, as an EU citizen, he could travel and work in several European countries. This is why EYP’s success has a dimension that transcends national borders and concerns all Western countries as a whole.”
