Greek police raid offices of Israeli spyware seller

Greek police raided the Athens offices of the company that sells Israeli-made Predator spyware in the country which was allegedly used in widespread surveillance operations by Greece’s intelligence services, local media reported Tuesday.

The offices of Intellexa and Krikel, an information and communications technology and electronic security systems provider, were among six companies raided by police in the capital, said the Kathimerini daily.

The prosecutors who ordered the raids were acting on evidence and documents that emerged in recent days, including in reports in Sunday’s Documento newspaper, which recently published documents showing that dozens of acting ministers, senior generals, businessmen and journalists were under surveillance, according to the daily.
