The #spyware issue will not go away. No matter how ardently the government leaders wish for it. The Justice Committee of the Irish parliament will investigate the presence of #Intellexa in Ireland. @BarryAndrewsMEP @EP_PegaInquiry

Good to remember that while the @EU_Commission is extremely busy “monitoring the situation”, the US have blacklisted #Intellexa as a threat to national security.

US government adds two more #spyware makers to denylist
The U.S. government put #Intellexa and #Cytrox, two European spyware makers, on an economic denylist. The addition of the two companies, based in Greece and Hungary, as well as two related entities in Ireland and North Macedonia, is part of a wider effort from the Biden administration against makers of malware that is sold exclusively to #lawenforcement and intelligence agencies.

💥 22.02.2023💥 Η #Intellexa στέλνει εξώδικο στην Επιτροπή #PEGA του Ευρωκοινοβουλίου: - κάνει λόγο για αμφισβήτηση της νομιμότητας των ενεργειών της Επιτροπής, - και επιφυλάσσεται να κινηθεί εναντίον της για να αντιμετωπίσει τους «ισχυρισμούς» της.

While the US has blacklisted #Intellexa and #Cytrox entities in Greece, Ireland, Hungary and North-Macedonia as risk to national security, Europe is still a comfy home to these vendors of mercenary #spyware. Will @EU_Commission finally take action? My questions 👇 https://t.co/rQ23NXtTZR

BREAKING: US adds 2 European mercenary spyware firms to export control list.

#Cytrox & #Intellexa = *notorious* proliferators of #Predator spyware,

Linked to abuses around globe, Greek #spywaregate, hacking of Americans...🧵1/

Rule: https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-15343.pdf

Το υπουργείο εμπορίου των ΗΠΑ απαγορεύει τις συναλλαγές με την ελληνική #Intellexa.

Την εταιρία δηλαδή που δεν ήξερε ή γνώριζε η κυβέρνηση της ΝΔ άλλα τη νομιμοποίησε να εμπορεύεται το #predator.

Ναι, αυτό που ήταν παράνομο #spyware εξαρχής.
Ναι αυτό που έκανε "πιο" παράνομο (για τους χαχόλους) η κυβέρνηση μόλις βγήκε στη φόρα.

Αυτό που χρησιμοποιούν και οι ίδιοι στις υποκλοπές τους.

New report on #PredatorGate exposes the cooperation between #Intellexa, the Greek secret service EYP, and the PM’s office, despite their stubborn denial. No matter how long it takes, the truth will come out. Outstanding journalism by @telloglou @e_triantafillou @EP_PegaInquiry

Similar letters were sent to @EP_PegaInquiry by another lawyer, Korogiannis, apparently also standing for ND in the elections. His client Sinka is an (EPP) acquaintance of PM’s nephew Dimitriadis, who in turn is closely connected to key #Intellexa persons such as Bitzios.
RT @URealfonzo: The company's letter espouses much of the EPP's political line on the spyware scandal – showing the ugly atmosphere in which Greeks are heading to the polls on Sunday.

Η εξαγωγή του #predator από την #Intellexa και στο Σουδάν, με γραπτή έγκριση της Κυβέρνησης #Μητσοτακη, παραβιάζει κ τον κανονισμό 2021/821 της ΕΕ. Το σκάνδαλο ερευνάται ήδη από την Ευρωπαία Εισαγγελέα. Η Κομισιόν στις 14/2 ζήτησε επίσης στοιχεία. Αδύνατη η συγκάλυψη κ Μητσοτάκη!

Maybe #Intellexa could start by giving answers to our - so far unanswered - @EP_PegaInquiry questions.

That could be a smart move in it's process of assessing the proper course of action.
