Lawyer Seeks Reopening of Greek Wiretapping Case with New Israeli Evidence

Lawyer Zacharias Kesses has submitted a new request to the Supreme Court prosecutor's office to reopen the wiretapping case file. This action follows the emergence of an Israeli court document that, for the first time, officially states Tal Dilian, the founder of Intellexa, only sold surveillance technology and had no involvement in its deployment within Greece.

“

The value of this new piece of evidence lies in the fact that for the first time it is stated in an official judicial document that Tal Dilian only sold to Greek authorities and has no connection with its use in Greece.

Kesses, representing victims of the wiretapping scandal, emphasized his commitment and that of his clients to upholding the rule of law, seeking truth, and ensuring accountability. He believes the Israeli document is crucial because it explicitly distinguishes between the sale of the Predator spyware and its alleged illegal use in Greece. Dilian himself, in a lawsuit against a victim in Israel, reportedly characterized the sale as legitimate while denying any personal involvement in illegal surveillance operations.

Based on this new evidence, Kesses urged the Supreme Court prosecutor's office to take immediate legal action. This includes retrieving the case file, obtaining certified documents from the Israeli proceedings through international judicial cooperation, and evaluating them within the ongoing criminal investigation. He also called for Tal Dilian to be summoned for testimony.

“

The ethical code of my clients and myself mandates the uncompromising defense of the rule of law, the constant search for truth, and accountability against any form of cover-up of the wiretapping case.

Should Dilian's credibility be questioned due to his status as a defendant, Kesses proposed summoning five Intellexa executives whose roles were highlighted in the initial wiretapping trial. These individuals, including the technical director and administrative manager, have not yet testified. Kesses stressed that the prosecutor's office is obligated to pursue these lines of inquiry to uncover the full truth behind the wiretapping scandal.

“

The Supreme Court prosecutor's office must immediately take all legal actions. It must retrieve the case file, request, through international judicial cooperation, the certified documents of the Israeli proceedings, and evaluate them within the framework of the criminal investigation.
