Former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has filed a motion with the Supreme Court prosecutor for a comprehensive investigation into his targeting by Predator spyware. He claims the government has not responded to his repeated requests for clarification on the surveillance. In April, Samaras raised concerns in Parliament about state agencies' knowledge of the surveillance, which reportedly affected half the cabinet and military leadership. He criticized the government's narrative that four private individuals, including foreigners, executed this surveillance without state awareness. Samaras emphasized the national security implications of such illegal surveillance and the need for accountability. His motion calls for an investigation into how this spyware was used against him and others in key positions. The case has garnered significant public attention and raises questions about the integrity of state institutions.
