Cyprus’ involvement in the wiretapping scandal under the microscope of the European Parliament
The European Parliament is putting Cyprus’ involvement in the wiretapping scandal under the microscope.
The Socialist and Democrat, Left and Liberal political groups in the European Parliament have asked President Roberta Metsola to discuss the issue at the first plenary session of the body.
AKEL MEP Giorgos Georgiou and MEP Dimitris Papadakis told the newspaper “Politis” that the debate will concern the revelations made about the use of surveillance software in Greece and the operation of companies producing such software in Cyprus.
AKEL MEP Giorgos Georgiou said that the evidence that will be revealed is overwhelming and shows that long before the debate on the Predator software and the Tal Dillian spy van was opened, such software had been purchased and used. He pointed out that the thread leads to 2014 to 2015.
AKEL MEP Georgiou also said that despite the questions he raised, he did not get answers from the Minister of Justice, saying that now questions about surveillance systems that state agencies have should be answered by the President himself.
