In the past year, an undeclared one was in full swing ‘Spy war»Against the backdrop of the crystal clear blue waters of the Aegean. On the one hand, it was the Turkish services that tried through a “Voluntary network of agents” to monitor the movements of the Greek Armed Forces and on the other hand the Greek authorities (Police and EYP) who all this time were in complete control of the situation, to get to the previous weekend arrest two people in Rhodes.
The main character is a 35-year-old Greek Muslim from Rhodope, a mathematics teacher. who decided to leave the cards to be done chief agent. He left the theoretical posts on independent Western Thrace on Facebook and made close contacts with the Turkish consul in Rhodes. Their goal was to recruit unsuspecting citizens, to earn their trust and then assign them special missions. Their case 52 year old cook They are not the only ones estimated by the Greek services and they are waiting for the results of the investigation – from the Forensic Laboratories – on their laptops and mobile phones to the scope of the network you configured. “What I did was in the context of my job at the consulate.”he stated in his apology note Sabatahim Bairam, but the evidence that the authorities have in their hands says otherwise. It should be noted that in recent months it has been reactivated EYP in Rhodes, since the information as well as the testimonies on the movements of the consulate had been thickened.
Travel to Turkey and education
The 35-year-old, according to the information notes of the services, has been under discreet surveillance for eight years, since he started uploading to Facebook stands in favor of independent Western Thrace, but it didn’t seem to be more active. The transformation of the Rhodope mathematician began when he met the Turkish consul in Rhodes.. Especially the last two years that he permanently moved to the Isle of Knights he mutated into another human being. In essence, from translator he became secretary and right hand of the consul and began to plunge deeper and deeper into its dark waters espionage. In 2019 and 2020 he realized at least five trips to turkey using non-direct routes, but through the rhodopes to cloud the waters. There, as evidenced by the information gathered, he was trained in tactics. Those responsible for his discreet surveillance immediately noticed the changes. Moved to another area, much more central, while taking action counter-surveillance and self-protection making the job of Greek agents very difficult.
Everything showed that the Sabatahim Bairam not just a translator and secretary of the Turkish consulate, but a man who had vowed to build and manage a network of amateur spies which will run in parallel with the Turkish Secret Services. The network would collect the information and hand it over to the consul to reach Turkey through diplomatic channels.
The curious cook
Everything shows that in About two years the 35-year-old mathematician worked as an agent approached – to recruit– and other people, without yet having identified when and who they are. The truth is that in August, when was approached by the 52-year-old cook from the ocean liner who was with his wife on vacation, through a mutual acquaintance supposedly seeking help, he found the opportunity to include him in his potential. The mathematician-spy learned that this particular ocean liner passed every Tuesday and Wednesday night in Kastelorizo, every Saturday in Rhodes and that the cook was a lonely person who had no company, and even when he went out to eat he used to be alone. Ideal case to recruit him and make him your eyes and ears on the remote island. And maybe the sailor in his testimony said that “Everything I did I did for my country and they didn’t pay me”, but the police are convinced that they were receiving money for the services he rendered.
The consular secretary asked him three things: First, record daily the number of soldiers, sailors and soldiers who came and went to Kastelorizo. Secondly, photograph the ships and the number of those entering the port and how many of them carry a helicopter. In third place, to eavesdrop inside the ship and listen to the conversations of the soldiers, while at the same time pretending to be naive and strange and asking prying questions of the soldiers on board. Such a discussion that took place with a Greek army officer was the occasion for his action to develop slowly. And that’s because The soldier suspected that something was wrong and immediately informed the competent services about the strange cook. The first time the Greek services caught him in the act was when they saw him get off the ship and to photograph the soldiers disembarking in Kastelorizo. Since then, a special group circulating on the ship “locked up” him and recorded his every move.
They spoke turkish
State Security Stairs and EYP He observed the two men for four months. Initially, they discovered that the spy-cook was sending On a daily basis the material was taken out through requests to the secretary of the consulate. So they stopped and found every Saturday the ship spent the night in Rhodes. Appointments were made in different cafes in the area. Island Aquarium, a point that has a great advantage for this type of meeting. Specifically, the signal from Greek mobile phone companies was weak, so mobile phones were often lost and entered Turkish networks. In fact, although they both know excellent Greek, each other they spoke turkish, believing that in this way those who sit next to him would not understand what they were talking about. The State Security profilers, taking into account all the data, outlined the profile of the two men. For the sailor who became a spy for a cook, his motives are true They were not patriots, as his apology insists, but financially. His image does not resemble that of a “nationalist patriot”, but more an adventurer who likes the good life and takes missions for granted it was assigned to him by his Kontochorian from Rodopi.
However, for the 35-year-old secretary, the estimates are completely different. Everything shows that it is a mathematician who wanted to become James Bond and was recruited by the consul to establish a parallel network of amateur spies. Of course, those who deceived him took advantage of his extreme positions and theories about Thrace to make him their instrument.
Thousands of photos
The information indicates that the secretary of the Turkish consulate supplied mwith a high-tech mobile phone -with high-definition cameras- the cook. When the police caught him, The 52-year-old “broke” and revealed everything, even giving details on how he was recruited and what he did. In the memory of his cell phone they found around 2,000 photos, many of which represent Greek ships, camps, military and ordinary soldiers. All the material is evaluated, while at the same time the police confiscated laptops, one of which was the one used by the secretary of the consulate. In the Forensic Security Laboratories already decoded the material that is in the memory of mobiles and laptops, while it will also be made recover deleted files to see which of them is usable, but also to have a complete picture of the network that the Rhodope mathematician tried to set up. Today, Monday, the two spies, the cook and the secretary, will be brought back to the Rhodes investigator to apologize.
