Former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras issued a strong statement regarding the recent sentencing in the wiretapping case trial, expressing outrage at the 126 years and 8 months imposed on each of the four convicted individuals. He noted that two others evaded prosecution because they were not included in the charges. Tsipras's comments reflect a broader frustration with the accountability of individuals involved in the scandal, especially those in positions of power.

In his post, Tsipras directly targeted Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and former government secretary Grigoris Dimitriadis, labeling them as both the 'moral and executive instigator' of the infringement on the rule of law in Greece. This accusation underscores the political implications of the case, suggesting that the higher echelons of government are complicit in unethical practices, potentially influencing public perception and trust in political institutions.

Tsipras concluded by asserting that this latest development makes it increasingly difficult for the true culprits behind the scandal to evade accountability. He emphasized that responsibility should not only be directed towards the legal system but also to the people, indicating a call for civic engagement and public discourse on the matter. Tsipras’s remarks may ignite further discussions on political accountability and the integrity of democratic institutions in Greece.
