Kostas Tsalikidis (??sta? ?sa????d??) died on March 9, 2005 at the age of 39 during the Greek telephone tapping case 2004-2005 scandal, in what appeared to be a suicide.
Tsalikidis was Vodafone Greece's Network Planning Manager when it was uncovered that Vodafone Greece was involved in one of the biggest political scandals of recent Greek history - tapping mobile phones of members of the cabinet, the Prime Minister, and hundreds of others.
The authorities and the media strongly feel that Tsalikidis‘s death was associated with his position in the company.
