Stelios Kouloglou, a former Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and journalist, has been identified as a victim of the Pegasus spyware while he was involved in a committee investigating abusive surveillance practices. This revelation highlights ongoing concerns regarding the illicit use of surveillance tools in Europe, particularly in Greece. The Citizen Lab, a Canadian technology watchdog, reported that Kouloglou’s phone was compromised with the Israeli-made software during his tenure on the PEGA committee, which is dedicated to looking into the misuse of spyware like Pegasus.
His hacking has sparked renewed outrage and calls for accountability, as various political entities, including the PASOK party and members of the SYRIZA party, emphasize the necessity for a thorough investigation into the incident. They argue that the surveillance of Kouloglou not only affects him as an individual but also implicates the broader operations of democratic institutions in Greece. Kouloglou's legal representative, Zacharias Kesses, indicated plans to take appropriate legal measures in response to the hacking, stressing the serious implications of such surveillance tools on democracy.
The discovery of this surveillance has reignited discussions about the ongoing espionage scandal in Greece, which remains unresolved four years after it first came to light, raising serious questions about the country’s political integrity and adherence to democratic norms.
