Police Investigation in Two Fronts Regarding the Leaked Video

The Police are conducting an investigation on two fronts regarding the leaked video that caused reactions: the origin of the video and the possible commission of criminal offenses. A statement has already been taken from former Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis, who handed over documents relating to an investment company that cooperated with the Presidential Office and turned out to be a phantom. The investigation into the origin of the video is assigned to the Cybercrime Subdivision, while the TAE Headquarters is examining the content of the video for possible offenses. At the same time, CYP is conducting its own investigation. A request for judicial assistance has been submitted to the USA, Israel, England and France to identify those responsible for the leak and the creation of the video. Mr. Lakkotrypis submitted evidence of meetings and contracts with the company “Stratix Wealth” and Florin Georgiou, who allegedly used a false name. The documents will be examined to determine their authenticity and the possible involvement of other persons. A statement is also expected from the President's Chief of Staff, Charalambos Charalambous, and businessman Chryso Chrysos. The investigation is ongoing and is expected to shed light on the circumstances of the video leak and the possible irregularities described in it.
