Keep in mind that there is another possibility, namely that the newspaper source was looking for a British name to pass on and stumbled on this guy who was known MI6. The Greek names are apparently real, so real that the employees have made a public protest for endangaring their collegues etc. Given the fact that this was apparently completely unconstitutional, I think that their protests should be directed at their superiors.

ATHENS (Sydney Morning Herald) Dec. 28 -- An alleged British spy named by a Greek newspaper as taking part in the alleged torture of terror suspects in Athens has reportedly been recalled to London.
Two of his colleagues at the British Embassy in the Greek capital are also said to have returned home to be questioned about the reported arrest of 28 Pakistani-born men over the 7/7 bombings.
There is growing concern in Whitehall that more British agents will be named as the controversy deepens in Greece over why MI6 officers were allegedly abducting and abusing suspects.
The diplomat named by the Proto Thema newspaper has been previously identified on websites as a member of the security services. The newspaper described him as the MI6 station chief in Athens.
