Greece Phone Scandal

GREECE – A European parliamentary committee investigating the use of spyware in the 27-country bloc, asked Greek officials Friday to do more to shed light on a phone surveillance scandal that targeted opposition politicians and journalists.

The scandal shook Greece’s center right government this year and surrounds the national intelligence service tapping the phones of opposition party leaders.

The prime minister says he was unaware of the operation, which he says was legal, but wrong.
