Greek air force officer arrested for spying, leaking NATO-related secret military information to a third country other than Turkey.
A Greek armed forces officer was arrested on February 5, 2026, on espionage charges for allegedly collecting and transmitting secret military information concerning NATO to a third country, not Turkey. The suspect is an air force officer, and the arrest was made by the National Defence General Staff (HNDGS) following clear evidence. The Greek intelligence service (EYP) cooperated closely with HNDGS in investigating the case. Neither the EYP nor the Defence Ministry has confirmed details about the recipient country of the espionage.
Confidence: High
The arrest of a military officer on charges of espionage involving the transmission of secret military data on NATO to a foreign third party constitutes a direct hostile intelligence activity against Greece, clearly qualifying as hybrid warfare aggression.
