There is nothing in the story to suggest
that the man was Greek. It only says that Greek authorities arrested a man living in Athens under an assumed name.

He could be a US citizen for all you know.

As for the death penalty for cost over-runs caused by lousy security, well, could I suggest the death penalty for every cost over-run contract of order $360million.

The death penalty is irrelevant, and possibly only adds to the thrill of the chase. The person may have had a psychological motive for selling those secrets; the person may have had an ideological motivation, in which case "treason" may be a better charge, or selling "state secrets".

As always, the real criminal and the real beneficiary of the selling of the secrets is the armaments manufacturer who will, no doubt, have to sell an "improved model of arbitrary death" to its customers, so that the customers can be one step ahead of the Balkans and other countries that "may have acquired the secrets".
