The head of the national secret service of Greece (EYP), Panagiotis Kontoleon, has resigned.

Appointed in August 2019, he leaves in light of reports that the service tapped the phone of a CNN Greece reporter. The secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Themistoklis Demiris comes to his post.

The Greek newspaper "Kathimerini" notes that Kontoleon's departure comes parallel to the departure of the close aide of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Grigoris Dimitriadis, who was said to be leaving "due to the toxic climate created around my person".

The government has denied, however, that the departures are related to the wiretapping of CNN journalist and PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis.

Earlier this week, two lawmakers who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity said Kontoleon had admitted during a parliamentary committee on July 29 that his service had spied on Thanasis Koukakis, a financial journalist working for CNN Greece.

The closed-door hearing was called after the leader of the opposition socialist PASOK party, Nikos Androulakis, lodged a complaint with the court's top prosecutors about an attempt to tap his mobile phone with Predator spyware.

Androulakis, who is also a member of the European Parliament, said he became aware of the attempt after being tipped off by the European Parliament's cyber security service days before he filed his complaint on July 26.
