Supreme court rules suspected spy was legally arrested

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the arrest of the man who stands accused of espionage, and the subsequent search of his apartment, were legal .

According to newspaper Phileleftheros , the man’s lawyer, Efstathios Efstathiou, had argued that the “uncritical acceptance of undocumented and unverified information as a sufficient legal basis” for the warrants, which originated “from a third country outside the European Union” constituted a “fundamental error”
