A complex espionage investigation is currently underway within the Greek Armed Forces, centering around a 54-year-old wing commander of the Air Force. Authorities believe that this case is not isolated, as investigations suggest the involvement of additional parties and possibly a broader network. Insights from ERTnews indicate that the recruitment of the wing commander was orchestrated by an unidentified 'shadow man,' who played a significant role in his activities.

The security authorities and the Cybersecurity Directorate of the General Staff of National Defence (GEETHA) have identified this 'shadow man' as pivotal in the recruitment and ongoing operations of the accused officer. Details reveal that two retired officers are also under investigation for having maintained communication channels with China and other potential links. One of these retired officers allegedly has a professional relationship with the Chinese Air Force, indicating a concerning level of foreign influence and espionage within the ranks.

The sudden arrest of the wing commander has raised alarms about national security and the integrity of military operations. As investigations continue, the implications of this case could extend beyond the immediate suspects, questioning the security protocols in place and prompting a reevaluation of military oversight in terms of foreign interactions and espionage risk management.
