Greek boss at phone-tapping probe

The head of mobile phone company Vodafone Greece has started giving evidence to a parliamentary committee about a phone-tapping scandal. The BBC reports.

"It is the first time George Koronias has faced public questioning since the scandal came to light. Last month, the government admitted that the mobiles of the prime minister and other officials had been bugged.

The tapping started before the 2004 Athens Olympics and continued until it was detected last year.

The hearing in parliament is likely to last many hours as Mr Koronias faces a barrage of questions from MPs. "
