Leaked Video Sparks Controversy Over Funding to Cypriot Government

A leaked video circulating on social media is causing a political uproar in Cyprus, allegedly capturing conversations between a former Minister, the Director of the President’s Office, and a businessman regarding funding to the government and potential circumvention of sanctions. The discussions concern the financing of President Christodoulides’ election campaign and other funding exceeding legal limits. The video, reportedly filmed with hidden cameras, has prompted immediate mobilization within the Presidential Palace, which is working to verify its authenticity and manage the crisis. The account that published the video identifies itself as an independent policy analyst.
