Withdrawal of confidentiality in communications

One of the most significant steps in Greece taken against child pornography is its inclusion among the charges that declassify communications (Article 4 par. 1 sec. a of Act 2225/1994). Based on this regulation, the Cybercrime Unit of Hellenic Police is now able to take action, find evidence and conclusively arrest suspects for such crimes. This specific regulation is the starting point for the augmentation of child pornography circulation cases brought to justice.

Other cyber crimes

Apart from genital offences, SafeLine aims at dealing with types of crimes, most important of which is the circulation of violent and racist material, personal data and privacy violation, declassification of communications, financial fraud, revilement and defame, call for suicide etc. The collaboration with the Cybercrime Units of Hellenic Police in Athens and Thessaloniki, the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) and the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy (ADAE) plays a vital role.
