Did you ask? Did you know who EYP is following? Did you know it? Say it openly. Open it if you knew who he was watching. I dont know. I do not know that. And I shouldn’t have known,” he stressed.

“I don’t have to know, because the governor, services, if they make a recommendation to the governor, ADAE and the competent prosecutor – there used to be two, now there is one – who ultimately approves and legalizes any surveillance that takes place. Do you really believe, Mr. Tsipras, that the French President, the Italian Prime Minister, the American President know who their secret services are following? Do you believe in this?” he said.
