Espionage in Greek Defence Forces: Arrest Unveils Leaked Secrets

A Greek defence forces member has been arrested for allegedly leaking classified information to third parties, according to the Greek National Defence General Staff (GEETHA). The arrest occurred within a secure military area, involving cooperation with various state services, officials confirmed on Thursday.

Authorities had been monitoring the suspect for several months, but recent suspicions of breaching highly sensitive data led to the expedited arrest. Sources indicate the individual also attempted to recruit others into the alleged espionage activities.

The investigation into this breach of national security is ongoing, with Greece's intelligence service actively participating in the probe, officials added. Further details about the nature of the leaked information have yet to be disclosed.
