In a marathon testimony, a Greek Air Force colonel involved in an espionage case for China admitted to passing classified information concerning both NATO and his own military responsibilities. As he delivered his statement, he provided the names of individuals implicated in the espionage activities. Notably, he disclosed the name of a contact who initially approached him via social networks, introducing himself as 'Steven Wayne'.

In addition to revealing his online contact, the colonel mentioned two individuals who posed as company executives, suggesting an organized effort to recruit him for espionage. This case has sparked significant media coverage, particularly after Live News journalist Dimitris Popotas published photos that document the colonel's interactions with his Chinese recruiters. The images, which were found on the colonel's phone, prominently feature him alongside these recruiters, further complicating the situation he finds himself in.

The implications of this case extend beyond the individual, raising concerns about national security and the potential for foreign influence in Greece's military operations. As details continue to emerge, it remains to be seen how this incident will affect Greece's relationship with NATO and other military alliances in the region.
