A new lawsuit against Israeli spyware firm Intellexa and 13 other individuals over the illegal wiretapping of their phones includes persons who testified in the trial as witnesses, but had not appeared in support of the charge.
The eight victims of the wiretapping scandal have sued the Athens-based surveillance firm and individuals believed to be linked to it, seeking €1 million each for moral harm, their lawyer Zacharias Kesses said on Tuesday. The trial has been set for April 7, 2027.
An indicative example is Penelope Miniati, a former director of the Hellenic Police’s Forensic Laboratories; Antonia Primpa a lawyer who had served as an associate of New Democracy’s MEP Stelios Kympouropoulos, and as special advisor to the Secretary General of Telecommunications and Posts of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Networks from May 14, 2014 to February 28, 2015; two employees of Greece’s intelligence agency EYP, Angeliki Roussou and Zoe-Maria Sakkali; lawyer Ioannis Fitilis; as well as journalist Spyros Sideris, whose surveillance had not been confirmed until today.
The other two plaintiffs are financial journalist Thanassis Koukakis, a former Meta security manager and a dual US-Greek national Artemis-Mary Seaford.
