Chronicle of Deception - George Lakkotripis' Revelations in Testimony

The investment fraud case has caused a political earthquake in Cyprus, with the Presidential Palace at the center of criticism. Law enforcement agencies are investigating a wealth of data, including bank transactions, travel documents, and communications, to identify the perpetrators and verify the authenticity of the leaked video. The Legal Service has issued instructions for the investigation of the video, and the involvement of intelligence services such as CYP and EYP suggests fears of hybrid warfare. George Lakkotripis, who appears in the video, has testified to the police that he was unaware of and did not consent to the recording of his conversations. The case has stirred up the political scene, against the backdrop of the upcoming Cypriot Presidency and parliamentary elections.
