New Shocking Revelations in the Panov Case at the Russian Embassy – State Enclave on the Territory of the Republic of Cyprus

New revelations regarding the death of Anton Panov, a Russian cryptographer found dead at the Russian embassy in Cyprus, are raising serious questions. According to the investigative outlet The Insider, Panov had a direct connection to Russian intelligence services and communication with high-ranking Russian government officials, despite his formal role as a “third secretary”. The revelations show that Panov had telephone conversations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and other high-ranking officials, as well as with individuals linked to cyber espionage and wanted by Ukraine. This suggests that his presence in Cyprus was strategic and connected to secret operations. The Cypriot authorities appear to have been completely excluded from any investigation into Panov’s death, raising concerns about Cyprus’s sovereignty and independence. This case highlights the need for transparency and cooperation in international affairs concerning security and national sovereignty. The Panov case has caused strong reactions and has questioned relations between Cyprus and Russia. The new revelations are expected to lead to further investigations and possible diplomatic moves, with the aim of clarifying the circumstances of the death and preventing similar incidents in the future.
