LEFT lawmakers in Greece have labelled the outcome of a two-year spyware probe as a “sham” and a cover-up.

The investigation has cleared the country’s security agencies of involvement in an international spyware scandal that triggered sanctions by the United States earlier this year.

Supreme Court prosecutor Georgia Adilini said that she found no evidence linking Greece’s National Intelligence Service, the police force or its anti-terrorism division to the use of Predator spyware, which opposition groups alleged was used against some government critics.
