Government Denounces Video Alleging Bribery of President Christodoulides as 'Malicious Montage'

Government Spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis described a video circulating on social media alleging bribery of President Christodoulides as “malicious and a product of montage.” The video, published by a fake profile on X, includes edited statements from former Energy Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis and fragmented statements from other individuals, aiming to distort the context of discussions regarding the funding of the President’s election campaign. Mr. Lakkotrypis has filed a complaint with the Nicosia TAE, providing all available evidence. The government will issue a statement on the matter after the investigation is completed.
