The developments in the espionage case at the Souda base are interesting, as the man who was brought in was allegedly communicating with Iran and had even taken photographs of the American aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford.
According to ERT, he was found in possession of photographs of the warship, which he allegedly took with a camera.
In addition, an application was found that he allegedly used to receive information from Iran.
The man has been transferred to Athens to be examined to determine exactly what he did in the area and what his role was.
Following in the footsteps of the 26-year-old man from Azerbaijan, who was arrested in Souda, Crete, in June 2025 for espionage, it seems that the 36-year-old Georgian, who has been detained and examined by ELAS(Greek police) and EYP(Greek intelligence agency) for some hours, has moved.
He was brought in on Monday morning from the "El. Venizelos" premises, as it was thought that he would go abroad and his tracks would be lost. According to information, he arrived in Greece about a month ago and at least since February 10 he had been in Crete, photographing ships entering and leaving the Souda naval base, as well as the facilities of the American base.
In fact, on February 16, he had tried to book a room at the hotel where the 26-year-old man from Azerbaijan stayed last year, but was unsuccessful. In the last 24 hours, he had returned to Athens, where he was under surveillance by ELAS and EYP, while after the allegation that digital evidence was found in his possession, the evidence is examined thoroughly.
For now, his detention is considered a matter of time before it turns into an arrest and he is charged with espionage, based on the findings.
