Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called the wiretapping and surveillance of the leader of the PASOK-KINAL political party Nikos Androulakis an “unforgivable mistake.” The prime minister apologized to the politician in the Sunday edition of the newspaper “To Vima”, saying that he knew nothing about the surveillance.
A political scandal is developing in Greece related to the wiretapping of the mobile phones of an opposition politician, MEP Androulakis and journalist Kukakis. In connection with the scandal, the head of the Greek intelligence service Kontoleon and the Secretary General of the Prime Minister Dimitriadis were dismissed.
“This is a big and unforgivable mistake, I was not informed,” Mitsotakis said. “I would never allow that.”
The newspaper writes that, according to the statements of the prime minister’s office, the head of the special service Kontoleon did not notify anyone about the surveillance of Andrulakis.
The audition lasted three months and was interrupted when the politician was elected president of the PASOK party, informed sources revealed the details. At the same time, Vima reported that the surveillance was conducted at the request of the special services of Armenia and Ukraine, which “in itself raises new reasonable questions.”
