Isidoros Dogiakos has been accused of acting as an"arm of the government" after he said that the country’s telecom watchdog, the Independent Authority for Communication Security and Privacy, cannot probe wiretaps.
Alexis Tsipras, leader of the main opposition party Syriza, said on Twitter that Isidoros Dogiakos’ legal opinion is unconstitutional for saying that under the new law in force, the Independent Authority for Communication Security and Privacy no longer has the power to inform citizens whether their communications have been intercepted or monitored for reasons related to national security.
The Greek Communist Party released a statement saying the “so-called independent judiciary” is shaped by politicians and consequently acts as an arm of the government. Things escalated after Nikos Androulakis, leader of the PASOK-KINAL opposition party and a member of the European Parliament, also revealed that he was targeted with Predator spyware, triggering a parliamentary probe on the matter.
Mitsotakis was left with no option but to force Kontoleon to resign along with his top aide and nephew Grigoris Dimitriadis.
