His intention to file a lawsuit for abuse of power against three of his prosecutors Supreme Court for cover-up on investigating the wiretap scandal the lawyer made public Zachariah Kesses, representing 13 victims of illegal software monitoring PredatorAt the same time, he revealed that since last Friday the Supreme Court's prosecution has been officially informed by him. for six persons who have not appeared so far who want to file new evidence on the case of intercept and sue with regard to entrapment, with Predator spy software, its use in Greece and the company's relationship with the National Intelligence Agency.
Instead of investigating and hauling the case, there was a refusal to investigate and re-archive. These positions, with shocking data he cites on the case of illegal telephone surveillance, were held at the extraordinary press conference given by PASOK-KINAL President Nikos Androuliakis, on Monday afternoon (24/4), with the participation of lawmakers.
«The Supreme Court's prosecution and I denounce it, Mr. Javellas, rushed to file the case because he was afraid of the new lawsuits, because he wanted to avoid the new evidence.», stressed Z. Kesses.
In fact, he pointed out that he expected Mr. Javellas to have declared abstinence from the case because he was the supervising deputy of the NSA at the time, because he has signed all of the journalist's privacy clauses. Thanasis Koukakis and has also been examined as a witness in the Committee on Institutions and Transparency in the House, «where he refused to cooperate and made a plea of secrecy»...
The lawyer clarified that the lawsuit for abuse of power under Article 239 of the Criminal Code would testify in due course and concerns three Supreme Court prosecutors who handled the issue of interception, Achilles Zissi, Georgia Adeline, and Constantine Javella. Like he said, «Those who have taken care of them, while it is their job, instead of ousting the culprits, will come to the moment when they will face the relevant lawsuit that will be brought against them at the right time, not now, and this concerns Mr. Zoe, Mrs. Adeline and Mr. Javella. Nobody's uncontrollable.».
Here are excerpts of lawyer Z. Kessé's position and his answers to journalistic questions:
G. Kesses: «To clarify that I am not only representing Mr. Koukakis, I represent 13 victims of the illegal spy software Predator, 7 of whom had already filed a lawsuit and the rest failed to file a lawsuit. Let me say this: we are experiencing an institutional diversion and I am obliged to talk about the erosion of justice and therefore also democracy, when we see and experience such decisions as are related to darkness, the same darkness, which exists in the Chamber in which this case was investigated and I am talking about the prosecutor's office.
I would like to put it this way: there is the judgment of the judge, the prosecutor, of what he has decided, and there is an assessment of what he has not done. I want to be very specific and before I enter into what Mr Javelas has decided, I want to denounce this, promising, because it is my commitment to my mandates, but also to what we consider to be an obligation as legal agents, to promise all those who are so committed to the cover-up, that I will dedicate them to 239 of the Criminal Code, which is abuse of power.
Those who have taken care of them, while it is their job, instead of ousting the culprits, will come at the time when they will face the familiar lawsuit that will be brought to them at the right time, not now, and this concerns Mr. Zoe, Mrs. Adeline and Mr. Javella. No one is uncontrollable. I shall say this: feeling that for 20 days now Supreme Court While several advocates have repeatedly asked to be given an appointment to file new lawsuits, to provide evidence, Mr.Javellas avoids meeting with us in an official request made, he refused to meet us and, as far as I know, others and Mr. Androulakis asked for an appointment with him.
Because we sensed that something was wrong and because we're here Monday, but we've seen it coming, last Friday, and this is my complaint, I visited the Supreme Court DA myself and filed an application on 24/04/2026, the application's protocol number is 3247. With this request, I asked, first, in view of the risk of limitation and the fact that almost two months have passed since the judgment of the Single Member of the Court of Justice was delivered and in view of the fact that offences were committed every day, to be informed, first, of who is the controller of the case, to whom the file has been charged.
Secondly, in view of the fact, we put it in the application that it cannot be Mr. Javelas, we took it for granted that he would declare abstinence, because not only was he the supervising deputy of the IPA in the period at issue, not only have criminal acts taken place during the period he supervised the IMI, not only has he signed the lifting of Mr. Koukakis's confidentiality, all of Mr. Koukakis' confidentiality rights, but he has also been examined as a witness, in the Committee on Institutions and Transparency in the House, where he refused to cooperate and invoke confidentiality.
So we took it for granted that the Supreme Court prosecutor, as he does, will not handle the case. I recall that Mrs. Adeline had not handled it either.
But besides that, I asked for two very specific things. I've requested that we be officially informed by the Supreme Court's prosecution of how to file the new six lawsuits. There are six very important natural persons who want to file new lawsuits, persons who have not so far appeared. So I asked them to let us know that there is no danger of obstruction and delay, to tell us where the lawsuits will be filed.
Secondly, I asked the Supreme Court's prosecution to let us know where, how and by what procedure we will operate on the confidential, sensitive documents that we have in our hands and are not even in the file, in order for them to be investigated. That's what I did Friday.
Someone might think it's okay, there was an application made to the Supreme Court DA, they didn't see her. I want to let you know that half an hour after I filed the application, I was called up by the Supreme Court prosecutor's office, I went up to the Supreme Court, I was greeted by the deputy prosecutor of the Supreme Court, Mr. Bakellas, with whom I had a detailed information meeting of 45 minutes.
I fully informed him of everything there is, everything he needs and asked him to show the corresponding diligence in how, who and when he will receive these crucial evidence necessary to investigate the case, beyond all that exists in the decision of the Athens Court of First Instance and in evidence. That was Friday.
So, as you can see, the sudden filing of the case Monday, the first working day, Monday 27 April today, proves that there was no willingness to investigate the case. The Supreme Court's prosecution and I denounce it, Mr. Javellas, rushed to file the case because he was afraid of the new lawsuits, because he wanted to avoid the new evidence. And that should be answered by some because this was also the case, knowingly speaking, for 239.
Because here we have acts and omissions associated with criminal aberration. That's what the Supreme Court didn't do.
I mean, however, two words about Mr. Javella's judgment, because you know we should understand that we are six years after the investigation, after the start of the case, and we have the prosecution to the highest extent coming and telling you that the trapping, or attempt to trap half the Cabinet of state agents, the Chief of Armed Forces and the Greek Police, does not constitute any other offence either in the form of the attempt, is not espionage, it is only three minor misdemeanors and
This is the Supreme Court prosecutor's judgment.
I think this crisis will be taught as an example in all legal schools. And much more will be used as an argument for the next spies to come to our country. The one who framed Mr. Trees and knows Mr. Trees is trapped, not prosecuted for espionage. I feel the need to try to
I imagine what Mr. Trees will think after that, after that conclusion.
But I also want to say two words about what Mr Javellas said in his conclusion, recalling that there is a list of 43 pages in which there are dozens of evidence. This evidence Mr. Javellas did not see, did not evaluate, did not judge. And if someone reads the act they will understand that it does not refer to them at all, it refers only to what the court ruling writes without any reference to the evidence. And it comes and refers to the criminal liability of the 9 participants and states that everything that concerns the 9 partners named, identified during the one-member court misdemeanor is evidence that Mr. Zisis has already assessed.
And I want to tell you that in addition to what Mr. Zissis assessed, dozens of evidence emerged that Mr. Zisis did not even know about it, so you realize that Mr. Javella's judgment is of no value when he invokes Mr. Zisis's already existing crisis. Only one thing I will say: there were witness statements in the Court, there was the secretary of one of the defendants who testified that the company's general manager was the one who gave Predator's export documents to Sudan.
So this evidence Mr. Javellas thought it had no value. He did not assess the emails presented in the trial, did not assess the invoices, did not assess the remaining testimonies, even testimonies of an employee of the company who showed how the company operated. I will say this: we have this unprecedented, I think that so far we have been mocking - because we could not do anything else - Mr. Zisi's judgment that the use of the card was made - the prepaid card with which the trapped messages were paid - accidentally by a man who achieved the PIN 3 times. I believe that this has set a level that no one would go through!
Mr. Javellas passed it. In the layout he took out one will read that he comes and says that by questioning the evidence brought by Mr. Spirtzis and anyone, saying that these could have been contributed, taken from his email and not from his mobile phone, and saying: «If someone enters their email from a cell phone and deletes an email, it does not erase from their computer». This is a crisis, an opinion of Mr. Javella that I don't know if he proves to be an electronic illiterate, but proves he didn't want to do his job.
«Now delete something from your email on your mobile and go to your computer and see it.». That's what Mr. Javellas, the Supreme Court prosecutor said. He came and said that there was no evidence from the NSA, saying that Mr. Kosmidis came who had the card and revealed that he was supplied by a person working for the NSA, related to the NSA and said that this was not proven, Mr. Javellas. But you know, the decision of the one-man man who sent for an investigation, that's what he asked: to investigate who Mr Petrissis is, what he has to do with the National Intelligence Agency. And Mr. Javellas said this didn't turn out in court.
Έχουμε λοιπόν μια κρίση του Εισαγγελέα ο οποίος λέει ότι «εγώ κρίνω ότι δεν πρέπει να ψάξω γιατί αυτά δεν έχουν αποδειχτεί», ενώ δεν ήταν αντικείμενο απόδειξης. Δεν θέλω να πω κάτι παραπάνω. Θέλω απλά να συμπληρώσω ότι όπως ειπώθηκε, τα κακουργήματα είναι κακουργήματα, δεν παραγράφονται ό,τι και να κάνουν. Οι διατάξεις αρχειοθέτησης δεν παράγουν δεδικασμένο, ιδίως αυτές οι οποίες έχουν γίνει με ένα τέτοιο άκομψο, τεχνικά, νομικά αδιανόητο, έωλα τρόπο και ότι όσοι έχουν τρέξει με τόση σπουδή να ικανοποιήσουν τις επιθυμίες του κ. Ντίλιαν και να αναβιώσουν τη σύμπραξη μεταξύ δημοσίου και ιδιωτικού δικαίου που υπήρχε από το 2020 μέχρι τώρα, θέλω να δω πώς θα αντιδράσουν όταν θα γίνουν οι μηνύσεις και όταν θα εισφερθούν αυτά τα στοιχεία. Θα θέλω να τους δω τότε.
Είμαι πεπεισμένος ότι η αίτηση η οποία κατέθεσα την Παρασκευή επιτάχυνε τις εξελίξεις και οδήγησε στην έκδοση της αρχειοθέτησης. Στην αίτηση που κατέθεσα την Παρασκευή αναφέρω ρητώς ότι: «Πρόκειται να προσκομιστούν ευαίσθητα δεδομένα, η μυστικότητα των οποίων πρέπει να διασφαλιστεί και δεδομένης της ανάγκης αποφυγής περιττών καθυστερήσεων από την άσκοπη διακίνησή τους, παρακαλώ όπως μου υποδειχθεί ενώπιον ποιας Αρχής και με ποια διαδικασία θα εισφερθούν τα εν λόγω έγγραφα στη δικογραφία».
Το ζητάω ρητώς, το είπα και προφορικά στον κ. Τζαβέλλα, μάλιστα συζητήσαμε το ζήτημα της εμπιστευτικότητας αυτών των εγγράφων χωρίς το περιεχόμενο, ασφαλώς και η επόμενη κίνηση της Εισαγγελίας του Αρείου Πάγου ήταν Δευτέρα πρωί-πρωί, αντί να ενημερώσει πώς θα παραλάβει αυτά τα έγγραφα, αντί να ενημερώσει πώς θα παραλάβει τις μηνύσεις για να τις αξιολογήσει, να βάλει την υπόθεση στο αρχείο.
Η κατάχρηση εξουσίας, όπως είπα, έχει να κάνει με τις ποινικές ευθύνες τις οποίες έχουν αυτοί οι οποίοι, εκ της αρμοδιότητάς τους είναι υποχρεωμένοι να διερευνήσουν και να ασκήσουν διώξεις. Εκεί πέρα έχουμε συγκεκριμένες, κατά την άποψή μου, ποινικές και πειθαρχικές ευθύνες των συγκεκριμένων χειριστών.
Οι μηνύσεις οι οποίες πρόκειται να κατατεθούν και έκανε ο Άρειος Πάγος, η Εισαγγελία του Αρείου Πάγου, ό,τι μπορούσε για να μην κατατεθούν, έχουν να κάνουν με την παγίδευση, με το κατασκοπευτικό λογισμικό Predator, τη χρήση του στην Ελλάδα και τη σχέση της εταιρείας με την Εθνική Υπηρεσία Πληροφοριών.
Απλά να διευκρινίσω ότι είναι πάρα πολύ σημαντικό κάποιος να δει στην πράξη αρχειοθέτησης ότι ο κ. Τζαβέλλας λέει ότι δεν προέκυψε κάποιο απόρρητο, κρατικό απόρρητο, διότι ερευνήθηκαν οι συσκευές των κινητών τηλεφώνων. Και ακόμα και αυτός δεν τόλμησε να ζητήσει την εξέταση των κινητών τηλεφώνων, ούτε να εμφανιστούν ενώπιόν του τα 87 θύματα ή όσα από τα θύματα πέσαν θύματα του λογισμικού Predator προκειμένου να δώσουν εξηγήσεις για το αν είχαν στο κινητό τους τηλέφωνο ή πού βρίσκονταν εκείνη τη στιγμή που παγιδεύτηκαν. (…)
Να πω ότι νομίζω ότι μετά από την απόφαση του κ. Τζαβέλλα, η εμπιστοσύνη στην ελληνική Δικαιοσύνη θα καταβαραθρωθεί περαιτέρω, πέρα από το 80% που δεν έχει εμπιστοσύνη σύμφωνα με τις τελευταίες σφυγμομετρήσεις. Σε σχέση με αυτό που με ρωτήσατε, θα σας πω ότι ασφαλώς δεν μπορώ να σας πω ούτε τις ιδιότητες ούτε ποια είναι τα πρόσωπα. Ασφαλέστερα όμως μπορώ να σας πω ότι την Παρασκευή η Εισαγγελία του Αρείου Πάγου ενημερώθηκε για το ποια είναι αυτά τα πρόσωπα. Άρα, τις συνδέσεις μπορείτε να τις κάνετε εσείς.
Η κατάχρηση εξουσίας είναι κακούργημα και όπως η παρακαταθήκη που αφήνουν αυτοί οι τρεις εισαγγελικοί λειτουργοί στο κύρος της Δικαιοσύνης έχει αρνητικό πρόσημο, θα φροντίσω να τους έρθει σαν κληρονομιά όταν πέρα από το να απολαμβάνουν την αποδοκιμασία του νομικού κόσμου, θα κοιτάνε στο παρελθόν την πορεία τους στο δικαστικό Σώμα. Προφανώς δεν θα γίνει άμεσα τώρα, θα γίνει στον κατάλληλο χρόνο».
