Secret testimony, declassification from telecommunications companies, EYP supply contracts of all kinds, and questioning of witnesses deemed “key” constitute a coordinated effort by prosecutors investigating surveillance allegations.

A group of prosecutors – Angelica Triantafillou, Kostas Spyropoulos, under the leadership of the head of the Athens District Prosecutor’s Office, Antonis Eleftherianu, according to Kathimerini, took drastic actions and collected important evidence that could provoke a development of events. in forensic investigations into wiretapping and Predator malware.

According to cross-references from competent sources, the prosecutor’s office has already received statements in complete secrecy from EYP employees, employees of companies (Intellexa and Krikel) involved in surveillance using illegal software, at the same time they have submitted requests for declassification of messages.

In total, EYP and the companies involved questioned five witnesses, in addition to the journalists and the complainants.

At the same time, prosecutors sent requests to mobile operators to confirm surveillance of specific messages, such as sending suspicious SMS messages to people who reported the surveillance, such as SYRIZA MP Christos Spirtzis and others.

According to the same information, mobile operators sometimes respond clearly, and sometimes in a way that raises new questions related to sending these suspicious malware activation messages.

At the same time, the questioning of five witnesses in absolute secrecy by EEM and the companies involved in the case, according to sources in the prosecutor’s office, has introduced new interesting elements into the investigation, which are being checked and compared.

Interviewed witnesses, according to the same credible sources, testified about how the illegal malware worked, while at the same time talking about a number of conventions in the logic of the matryoshka doll (grandmother, one inside the other), providing valuable information about the suspicious use of illegal software.

And while undercover testimony has begun, either from EYP employees or from companies involved, prosecutors reportedly already have a list of ten Intellexa and Krikel employees it considers “key” witnesses. All ten have been fully identified and are being issued subpoenas because some of them are not citizens, but citizens of another country, such as Israel.

Their interrogation is set in secrecy for those of them who announced their presence, as there are those who have not yet shown any intention to cooperate with the prosecutor’s office. In any case, sources in the prosecutor’s office told K that “justice is moving in the direction of seeking reality and truth, without being misled by the unstated purpose of the evidence leak.”

On the other hand, the Athens prosecutor’s office, which has already consolidated investigations into all surveillance complaints (all being investigated by two prosecutors), awaits with great interest the detailed testimony of Kostas Vakhevani, the editor of the Dokumento newspaper, who will appear next Tuesday in detail.

His summons for interrogation to the prosecutor’s office on Friday, the day before yesterday, did not lead to a full testimony of the witness, but only to quoting some facts, since he asked to give evidence in full after today’s publication.

After Vahevani’s testimony, if the information to be provided is considered important, sources in the prosecutor’s office did not rule out new steps on the part of the prosecutor’s office and speeding up the investigation.
