Officials in Greece say an investigation has cleared the country's security agencies of involvement in an international spyware scandal that triggered U.S. sanctions earlier this year.
ATHENS, Greece — A two-year investigation in Greece has cleared the country’s security agencies of involvement in an international spyware scandal that triggered sanctions by the United States earlier this year, a senior prosecutor said Tuesday.
The investigation’s findings drew an angry reaction from left-wing and center-left opposition parties in Greece which accused the ruling conservatives of engineering a cover-up. “It’s a shameful practice to sell this type of software to illiberal regimes, knowing that they are most likely to be used against human rights , against political opponents, and endangering the lives of thousands of people in third world countries,” Androulakis said.Greece signs deal to buy 20 US-made F-35 jets in major military overhaul, the U.S.
The government said its opponents had baselessly conflated the use of spyware with legally authorized wiretaps carried out by Greece’s National Intelligence Service.
