Four individuals were convicted in Greece for their involvement in a wiretapping scandal using the Predator surveillance software, targeting 87 people including government officials and journalists. The Athens court found them guilty of misdemeanours related to violating communication confidentiality and accessing personal data. Although sentenced to lengthy jail terms, these are suspended pending appeal. The case has raised concerns about democratic accountability and the government's handling of the situation, with Prime Minister Mitsotakis acknowledging the scandal but no officials charged. The trial has only addressed misdemeanours, despite serious allegations of espionage.
