Director of Presidential Office Linked to Investor Access: Video Allegations

The Director of the President's Office, Charalambos Charalambous, appears in the video to play a key role in connecting investors with the President and the Presidential Palace. According to the conversations, he proposes using funds as 'corporate social responsibility' contributions as a means of opening channels of communication and securing access. Specifically, there is a reference to an American investor who wished to make a contribution of €500,000, with Mr. Charalambous stating that a meeting with the President could be arranged. The conversations are not limited to simply arranging appointments, but include discussions about preparing for the meeting and the possibility of the President having specific proposals. The involvement of the Director of the Presidential Office in these conversations makes the issue particularly sensitive, as it directly affects the institutional functioning of the Presidency. The discussion focuses on whether the Presidency is involved in investment matters and whether these actions are in line with the institutional framework.
