The suspects, two Greek men aged 47 and 36, are facing charges of disrupting public service, making threats, violating personal data protection laws, and obstructing justice. Authorities are also searching for a 40-year-old accomplice allegedly involved in the operation.

According to the police, the 47-year-old was spotted on Thursday afternoon monitoring a convoy of vehicles carrying officers from the Hellenic Police and the Ministry of Environment and Energy. Investigators found that he was recording the movements of the inspection teams, documenting their locations and vehicles, and sending photographic and video footage to his accomplices.
