Data that influenced the course of the case

On Wednesday, August 3, a few days after the publication of an attempt to hack into the phone of PASOK President Nikos Androulakis using illegal Predator software, a plenary meeting of the Communications Privacy Enforcement Authority (ADAE) was held.

At this meeting, it was decided to form a committee that would take over the investigation of the public complaint of Mr. Androulakis. It was a reflex step that even the leaders of the Office did not have high hopes for. What’s more, the ADAE audit will be conducted at Mr. Androulakis’ telecom provider, where surveillance software such as Predator leaves no trace.

However, the Office’s auditors went to the mobile phone company Wind the next day, from where they requested and received information about the PASOK president’s telephone connection. What happened as a result of data processing became the impetus for the development of events. And this is because it was found that the privacy process was activated for Mr. Androulakis’ mobile phone by National Intelligence Service. In other words, the EMP itself tapped the phone of the President of PASOK using a “legal wiretap” system. The prosecutor in charge of EEM, Vasiliki Vlachev, signed the order to remove the secrecy. For this reason, Mrs. Vlahova met with the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court Isidor Doyakoat noon on Friday.

The latter allegedly claimed that Mr. Androulakis was being monitored at the request of foreign authorities, while it was reported that the secret services of Ukraine and Armenia requested the removal of secrecy from the PASOK president’s mobile phone. Some other sources of information noted that the interest of foreign services and, accordingly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was caused by the participation of Mr. Androulakis in the committee of the European Parliament dealing with the trade relations of the Union with China.

The order to declassify the phone of the President of PASOK was signed in September 2021, according to information, that is, simultaneously with an attempt to hack his mobile phone using illegal Predator software, which he himself claimed. These efforts failed because Mr. Androulakis did not click on the link of the trap that installed illegal software on his device.
