German Radio amateur falsely accused in Greece

A Greek court queries the validity of a radio amateur contacting other hams
while on vacation

The Greek City Times carries a translated report that originated in the
Greek language Europost. Oddly the Greek City Times translation omits some
of the amateur radio equipment mentioned in the original, this has been
added in below:

...a German tourist was arrested on espionage charges after so-called spy
equipment was found in his car.

He denied being a spy and said that he was a radio worker.

In a period of major national issues with Turkey, and in the midst of
vigilance, a German tourist was arrested in Rhodes for violating Law
4070/12: “regulation of electronic communications, transport, public works
and other provisions.�

Specifically, the 51-year-old German national was arrested at 10:30 PM on
August 9, 2020. The police of the Rhodes Security Sub-Directorate brought
the accused from Tholos, who had rented and was driving a Suzuki vehicle.


*[Inside, therefore, were found a CG3000 antenna with two bundles of cables
connected to it, a white antenna with the inscription www.DX-WiRE.de
<http://www.dx-wire.de/> mini 10m / 2018 / II, a YAESU MUSEN CO LTD
wireless car with number FT- 891, a dc verteiler electronic device and a
BENQ JOYBOOK S73 SERIES laptop without a license from a competent
authority, which were powered and operated by the car battery.]*
He also stated that he has a legal amateur radio license and that because
he has no stations in Rhodes, he came with his radio and equipment and
talked about his two days in Rhodes with other radio amateurs in a network
of 250 people, mainly from Germany and on frequencies legally licensed for
him for this purpose.

The court wondered what kind of vacation this was, but considered that
there was not enough evidence for the nature of the offense.
