Cyprus court frees three people arrested in connection with Israeli ‘spy van’
|
[IsraelTimes] Police had asked that Cypriot citizens working for Israeli firm be held for 8 more days over accusations of illegal surveillance, but judge declined.
The Cypriot suspects, two men and a woman, faced 13 charges related to violation of privacy laws, processing private data, falsely obtaining documents and breaking the radio communication law.
The vehicle is owned by Cyprus-registered company WiSpear, whose Israeli CEO Tal Dillian is said to be a former Israeli intelligence officer.
The van was seized on November 17 in Larnaca and is still in the possession of the police.
WiSpear denies any wrongdoing and says the van was not used to spy on anybody in Cyprus.
In a statement earlier this month, Dillian lashed out at "amateurish" police for prolonging a "witch hunt" against him.
Dillian said he was "embedded into a vicious circle of accusations" solely based on an interview given to Forbes which ran a video story about the van and the technology it used.
"The interview has been altered and used to fuel rumors and innuendos about illegal activities, coming from unnamed sources and serving unclear motives," he said.
He refuted there had been any illegal activity and was adamant "the police are aware of this fact which is supported by their own investigation."
