A Greek man accused of assisting Iranian intelligence in spying on a journalist in the UK pleads not guilty in a London court. Prosecutors say he travelled to Britain twice in April and May to carry out surveillance related to the journalist.

Outlets describe the case as a national security matter involving work for a foreign intelligence service, with references to Iran International, the London-based television station the journalist works for. The reporting is consistent that this is the defendant’s first court appearance and that he enters a not-guilty plea.

Across coverage, details about the defendant’s profile are limited but vary in emphasis. One outlet foregrounds the allegation’s Iran connection, while another focuses on the national security charge and court setting, and a third provides additional biographical framing.
