If you are asking for technical details, I'm not sure if there have been released any (although I only have access to online material since I don't live in greece any more).

Greek officials were tapped using law enforcement back door
A while ago, you may recall that members of the Greek government were wiretapped, and at the time, I speculated that the bad guys may have abused the built in CALEA software in the switch to do it. Well, it now appears that that was precisely what happened. Unfortunately, the article below is short on detail -- anyone have access to primary sources?
