Memorandum for her issue his telephone monitoringtestified today to the prosecutor of the Supreme Court Isidore Doyakothe journalist Athanasios Koukakis. Specifically, Mr. Koukakis testified in the context of the criminal investigation conducted by Mr. Dogiakos regarding the leakage of information contained in top secret government documents and relate to the process of removing the confidentiality of communications.
In his statement after his four-hour stay at the prosecutor’s office, Mr. Koukakis said:It’s been two years since I reported my first surveillance to the Communications Regulatory Authority. Since then, the Greek Justice had moved very slowly. The truth is that today I had a substantive discussion with the prosecutor of the Supreme Court, which focused precisely on my first monitoring by the EYP and did not, as I would have liked, go into the details of my second monitoring by the pretador software. What we have been seeing all along is that investigative journalism contributes to justice».
As Mr. Koukakis mentioned, he filed a memorandum with Mr. Dogiakos, which refers to all the real facts, which he knows, the press releases that have been done and stated that he is sure that there will be an open channel of communication with both the prosecutor of the Supreme Court and the prosecutor’s office of First Instance in order to enrich their own investigations with information.
Finally, when asked what an ordinary citizen who suspects that he is being watched can do, the journalist said: “What I can tell you is that the Mitsotakis government, with an amendment passed on March 31, 2021, essentially prohibited any Greek citizen from being informed by the competent authority from the Communications Privacy Authority that it has been monitoring for reasons of national security. And that’s exactly how he forbade you, me and even his political opponents like Nikos Androulakis to be informed of the fact that they were the subject of surveillance. In relation to journalists, it would be a mistake to assume that I am the only target of surveillance.”
The journalist has already been examined for his complaints about surveillance by the competent First Instance Prosecutor who is conducting the relevant investigation.
