Greek parliament removes asset declarations after data breach

On October 20, 2026, the Greek Parliament announced the temporary removal of members' asset declarations (Pothen Esches) from the website of the Special Committee. The measure follows an incident where parts of the financial statements, which are protected by law from public disclosure, were inadvertently published.

Authorities confirmed that the information was published by mistake during the routine posting process. To ensure compliance with existing legislation and protect sensitive financial data, the Parliament's administrative services took the records offline. The documents were removed immediately to prevent further unauthorized dissemination and to allow staff to perform necessary corrections to the entries.

This incident highlights a significant breach in the handling of mandatory financial disclosures required of public officials. As the records are currently unavailable, officials have indicated that the service will remain inaccessible until the necessary editorial adjustments are completed to redact the non-public portions of the files.
