A Greek court has found Anna Michelle Asimakopoulou, a former Member of the European Parliament from the New Democracy party, guilty of breaching official secrecy and data protection laws. The conviction stems from Asimakopoulou emailing personal data of Greek expatriates prior to the 2024 European elections. The leaked information reportedly included details intended to encourage overseas voters to participate. Prosecutors argued the data handling was unlawful and compromised individual privacy. Details of the sentence have not yet been released. The case raises questions about campaign practices and data security during elections. Asimakopoulou’s legal team has indicated they will appeal the verdict.
