Navy prosecutor admits in court he spied on SEAL lawyers and media, defense says.

 

Navy prosecutor has admitted in court that he spied on Navy SEAL defense lawyers and a member of the media, one of the SEALs’ attorneys said this week.

 

Tim Parlatore, the civilian defense attorney for Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, confirmed to American Military News that the prosecutor, Cmdr. Christopher Czaplak, admitted in a closed door hearing on Friday that emails were sent with spy software, and that it was sent in order to investigate leaks in the case.

 

“Here we’ve got all these leaks. The leaked material is judicial decisions that are positive to the prosecution and negative to the defense,” Parlatore said. “You’ve got evidence that the defense has never seen before, and the defense finds out from the media that it exists and goes back to prosecutor to ask if they’re withholding evidence. What makes you believe it’s a good idea to investigate me?”

 

“Why are you tracking my emails? Shouldn’t the prosecution be the ones having their emails tracked? Shouldn’t NCIS [Naval Criminal Investigative Service] have their emails tracked?” he asked.

 

The Navy prosecutor gave no explanation as to why the tracking was sent, nor what authority it was who permitted it.
