Greek Phone Tapping Probe Offers Clues on Culprits

Alkman Granitsas writes for Reuters:

Greek investigators looking into a phone tapping scandal that rocked the government this year said they found enough evidence that could lead to the culprits, according to a report seen by Reuters on Thursday.

In February, the government revealed a massive phone tapping operation that eavesdropped on more than 100 politicians and ministers, including Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, for more than a year before and after the 2004 Olympic Games.

No perpetrators have been identified but a probe by the state Communications Privacy Protection Authority (ADAE) has focused its investigations on Vodafone Greece, whose telephone network was used to shadow mobile phonecalls of Greek leaders.
