Espionage case: The 54-year-old wing commander is to be remanded in custody
A 54-year-old wing commander in Greece has been remanded in custody on charges of espionage for allegedly leaking classified information to China.
A Greek wing commander, aged 54, has been ordered to be remanded in custody following a lengthy interrogation by investigators concerning allegations of espionage in favor of China. The commander is accused of leaking sensitive military information for monetary gain. The investigation, conducted by Greek intelligence (EYP) and the military's operational headquarters (GEETHA), has focused on the individual's contacts and the management of classified military data.
The questioning of the wing commander commenced on a Tuesday morning, lasting eight hours, during which law enforcement authorities concentrated on unraveling the web of interactions he maintained and the methods he utilized to handle confidential military documents. His legal representative has since made statements regarding his defense, although specifics were not disclosed in the report.
According to sources from the intelligence agency and military circles, there is compelling evidence against the accused, which the authorities describe as a strong and well-documented case. This conclusion reportedly stems from a months-long collection of data and digital information that continues to evolve, potentially leading to further charges or accomplices involved in the espionage activities.
