A Greek lawyer who represents victims of a high-profile wiretapping scandal submitted on Tuesday a new application with the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office requesting the reopening of the file, claiming there is new compelling evidence linking Intellexa, the Israeli company that sold surveillance software, to Greek authorities.
Zacharias Kesses argued that Tal Dilian, the founder of Intellexa, acknowledged, for the first time, in an Israeli court filing that he sold Predator to Greek officials in a legal transaction. He says Dilian reportedly denies any involvement in using the software for illegal surveillance.
“For the first time, there is an official court document in which he [Dilian] separates the sale from the use of Predator in our country,” the lawyer said in a statement.
Kesses urges the Supreme Court Prosecutor’s Office to ask Israeli judicial authorities for the documents in question and to include them in the evidence collected for the wiretapping scandal. At the same time, he asks that Dilian or, if this is not possible, five Intellexa executives who have never testified before Greek authorities, to be summoned.
In February, Dilian and three more executives of Intellexa were found guilty of violating the confidentiality of telephone communications in the illegal wiretapping of politicians, journalists, business leaders and senior military officials that was revealed in 2022.
