Nikos Androulakis

Nikos Androulakis is a Greek politician who was a target of illegal surveillance using Predator spyware in 2022. This scandal, often referred to as "Greece's Watergate," involved the wiretapping of 87 individuals, including politicians, journalists, business leaders, and military officials. Androulakis's targeting contributed significantly to the scandal's exposure and subsequent investigation. He is newsworthy because a Greek court recently convicted four individuals (two Greeks and two Israelis) for their involvement in the illegal use of Predator software. These individuals were found guilty of breaching the confidentiality of telephone communications. The convictions highlight the ongoing legal repercussions of the scandal and underscore the significance of Androulakis's role as a victim whose case helped bring the illegal surveillance to light. The case raises concerns about privacy and security in Greece.
