Four people have been found guilty and given jail terms by a Greek court after a wiretapping scandal shook the country in 2022.

In what became known as "Greece's Watergate", surveillance software called Predator was used to target 87 people - among them government ministers, senior military officials and journalists.

The four who had marketed the software were found guilty by an Athens court of misdemeanours of violating the confidentiality of telephone communications and illegally accessing personal data and conversations.

The court sentenced the four defendants to lengthy jail sentences, suspended pending appeal.

Although they each face 126 years, only eight would be typically served which is the upper limit for misdemeanours.
