flag Four people stand trial in Athens over Greece's Predator spyware scandal, accused of illegally targeting 87 high-profile individuals.

flag A trial in Athens has begun over Greece’s Predator spyware scandal, with four individuals—two Israelis and two Greeks—accused of illegally marketing surveillance software used to target at least 87 high-profile figures, including ministers, military leaders, and journalists. flag The case, stemming from revelations in 2022, exposed widespread concerns about digital privacy, government overreach, and institutional accountability. flag Though the government denies any involvement, alleging the spyware’s use was illegal and unrelated to state agencies, critics argue the overlap in targets suggests coordinated surveillance. flag The Greek Supreme Court found no clear link between the government and the spyware, but international bodies like the European Parliament have criticized Greece’s lack of transparency and cooperation. flag The trial, involving thousands of documents, could last months, with civil suits filed by victims and ongoing debates over surveillance laws and democratic oversight.
