An investigation has been launched in Athens after the Greek daily newspaper “Ta Nea” has reported that illegal phone tapping has taken place near the major political parties headquarters. According to the report, numerous suspicious devices have already been installed in a close distance from ruling New Democracy, main opposition SYRIZA, coalition government partner PASOK and newly launched “To Potami” offices and were used to listen into telephone conversations.

The Greek newspaper has made use of a special device scanner in the areas surrounding the above offices in downtown Athens. According to the newspaper, the device has detected many suspicious events over a period of two weeks the scans were conducted.

From January 6 to January 18, some 17.000 special measurements were conducted by the newspaper and recorded 193 “very suspicious” events. Additionally, 64 cases were characterized as “high grade,” 78 as “moderate” and 263 as “low.”

Within a few meters from New Democracy‘s headquarters on Syngrou Avenue, eight such incidents were recorded, with four of them taking place in the afternoon of January 7, while another three occurred at noon on January 14 and one on January 18. In addition, one more incident was recorded in a relatively small distance from the party’s offices on January 12.

Five similar activities were recorded within a walking distance from SYRIZA’s headquarters in Koumoundourou Square on January 12, 14 and 18, while one more incident took place some 300 meters from the offices, on Piraeus Avenue.

Similarly, five suspicious activities were recorded in a close distance to PASOK headquarters, on Trikoupi Street on January 7 and 15. Finally, another two suspicious activities were detected within a walking distance from the headquarters of “To Potami,” which is located close to the US Embassy.
