The wiretapping scandal is once again coming to the forefront, as the Committee on Institutions and Transparency is set to convene in Parliament at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. The central issue on the agenda is whether Israeli businessman Tal Dilian and former Prime Minister’s Secretary-General Grigoris Dimitriadis should be summoned for questioning. It is worth noting that in the preceding period, the entire opposition had submitted requests to the committee’s presiding board demanding exactly this.

It is worth recalling that in mid-May, both the director of the Greek Intelligence Service (EYP), Themistoklis Demiris — with whom opposition leader Nikos Androulakis had a fierce confrontation — and Supreme Court Prosecutor Konstantinos Tzavellas were called before the committee. However, Tzavellas did not appear, citing Article 26, paragraph 1 of the Parliamentary Rules of Procedure, as well as the Plenary Decision of the Supreme Court 1/2011, which has ruled on the matter. He communicated his position via a letter sent to the Committee on Institutions and Transparency, which was also copied to Parliament Speaker Nikitas Kaklamanis.
