The attempt by the heads of the Legal Service to separate the case of the surveillance van from that of the surveillance operations in Greece has been contradicted by recent developments.

At least according to the details outlined in the lawsuit filed by the eight victims of the surveillance against the company Intelexa and 13 individuals, including Tal Dillian, known for the “black van” case.

Cyprus as a Base

The plaintiffs present Cyprus as the base of operations for the wiretapping carried out using the Predator software. Following Intelexa’s conviction for the “black van” case by the Larnaca Criminal Court, Tal Dillian and his wife, Sarah Hamou, moved their Predator operations to Greece.

“The case created an unfavorable climate for the Intellexa Group’s operations in Cyprus, leading Tal Dilian and Sarah Alexandra Hamou to seek a new location in Greece for their business operations. A pyramid of companies was created with the aim of circumventing each country’s security regulations, transferring funds, and exporting products.”
Lawsuit by eight victims

Following his conviction in Greece, Dillian made it clear that he would not be made the scapegoat for the entire affair.

“We operate strictly in accordance with European and international export regulations, providing technology only to governments and law enforcement agencies.”

According to information obtained by Alpha, the Anti-Corruption Authority’s preliminary investigation into the black van—based on a complaint filed way back in 2023—has been completed, paving the way for the appointment of investigatorsto conduct an in-depth investigation into this high-profile case.
