Lakkotrypis: Statements in Leaked Video 'Edited' to Harm Cyprus

Former Minister Giorgos Lakkotrypis filed a police complaint regarding a video circulated on a fake profile on the X platform, which allegedly shows him discussing ways to fund the President's election campaign with purported investors. Mr. Lakkotrypis states that his statements have been edited to distort the context of the discussions and harm Cyprus, the President, and himself personally, emphasizing that the video's leak occurred shortly after the start of the Cypriot Presidency of the Council of the EU. He stresses that he will hand over all available evidence to the police.
