With this Press Release, Homo Digitalis<\/span><\/span> expresses its deep concern regarding the compliance of the Greek legal order with the principles of the Rule of Law and effective judicial protection, in light of the recent developments concerning the investigation into the case of illegal wiretapping through the PREDATOR spyware.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The fact that the Prosecutor of the Supreme Court (Areios Pagos) reportedly retained the case file for twenty days without carrying out any preliminary investigative act, while also deciding to keep the case archived despite having previously been formally informed in writing by legal counsel representing victims of the PREDATOR spyware about both the existence of numerous critical documents and the imminent filing of at least six new criminal complaints by victims who have not yet appeared in the criminal proceedings, raises extremely serious concerns regarding the completeness and diligence of the judicial investigation and gives rise to intense legal and institutional concern.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This constitutes an unprecedented case, at the international level, of failure to investigate acts of espionage involving high-ranking state officials serving critical functions of the Greek State, including members of the Greek Government\u2019s cabinet, as well as members of the leadership of the Hellenic Police and the Hellenic Armed Forces. These developments pose a serious risk both to national security and to citizens\u2019 trust in public institutions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moreover, these developments are taking place during a particularly critical and institutionally fragile period, in which key independent authorities functioning as checks and balances \u2014 and which, in the exercise of their supervisory mandate, have previously brought significant aspects of the PREDATOR scandal to light, namely the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE) and the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA), remain without leadership.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The failure to meaningfully investigate acts that may constitute espionage and that concern high-ranking state officials and critical functions of the Greek State raises serious risks for national security and institutional stability. At the same time, the inability to fully clarify cases concerning the confidentiality of communications and the protection of personal data constitutes a direct threat to fundamental rights and undermines core principles of the Rule of Law and the administration of justice.<\/p>\n
