The justice sector of EL.A.S. announced that the Supreme Court Prosecutor has refused for a third consecutive time to reopen the Predator wiretapping investigation. The organization said the decision keeps one of the most serious judicial cases archived despite new evidence brought to the prosecutor's attention.
According to EL.A.S., overwhelming details emerged during a months-long evidentiary process before the Single-Member Misdemeanor Court of Athens. That court imposed heavy prison sentences totaling 126 years on four convicted individuals in connection with the surveillance case.
The group noted that additional evidence came from Dillian's own confession about selling the illegal software to governments. It stated that the persistent refusal to re-examine the case maintains conflict over the scope of judicial inquiry, the involvement of key figures, and the limits of using new evidence.
Judicial Independence and Rule of Law
EL.A.S. stated that citizens are watching and evaluating senior judicial officials who stubbornly refuse to investigate a matter with major political ramifications. The organization emphasized that independent judicial officers must seek the truth regardless of who it affects, rather than relying on legal pretexts.
The statement concluded by warning that overt collusion between judicial authorities and executive power exposes the country's international standing regarding the rule of law.
