A recent two-year investigation in Greece has absolved the country’s security agencies of any involvement in an international spyware scandal that led to sanctions by the United States earlier this year. Supreme Court prosecutor Georgia Adilini announced on Tuesday that there was no evidence linking Greece’s National Intelligence Service, police force, or anti-terrorism division to the use of Predator spyware, which had allegedly targeted government critics.
The spyware was reported to have targeted numerous prominent individuals in Greece, including Nikos Androulakis, the current leader of a Socialist party and the third-largest party in parliament. Despite the investigation's findings, left-wing and center-left opposition parties in Greece have accused the ruling conservatives of orchestrating a cover-up.
