Parliament Speaker Nikitas Kaklamanis has said he will refer alleged leaks from a closed-door parliamentary hearing involving National Intelligence Service (EYP) chief Themistoklis Demiris to the legislature’s ethics committee, describing them as a possible “criminal offense.”
The spy chief testified for nearly five hours before Parliament’s Institutions and Transparency Committee, which met in a closed session under parliamentary rules.
Kaklamanis described the reported leaks as a serious breach of parliamentary procedure.
“What has been done is not simply a trivialization of the parliamentary process, it is a parliamentary diversion,” he said.
The speaker said he would ask the ethics committee to gather all related publications and investigate how information from the confidential session was disclosed. He added that those responsible could face legal action, describing the leak as a possible “criminal offense.”
