Will we find out if the Assistant Attorney General is corrupt in 2030?

The article focuses on the pending status of four corruption complaints against Assistant Attorney General Savvas Angelides, which have remained unexamined by the Anti-Corruption Authority for two years. The author expresses concern that the investigation of the complaints is being unduly delayed and that suspicions of corruption within the Legal Service remain. The complaints relate to a series of issues, including professional relationships between Angelides' brother and associates of Dillian, the suspension of criminal prosecution against Dillian, the "golden passports" affair, illegal retirement and forgery, as well as issues regarding Angelides' "source of wealth" declarations. Specifically, the complaint regarding the "source of wealth" concerns the non-declaration of a company purchase and debt transfer. The author emphasizes that the Anti-Corruption Authority has already dismissed five complaints against Angelides, but insists on the need to prioritize the examination of the pending complaints. They propose the appointment of foreign investigators to ensure objectivity and effectiveness of the investigation. Overall, the article expresses strong concern about the delay in investigating the corruption complaints against the Assistant Attorney General and calls on the Anti-Corruption Authority to act quickly and effectively to restore public trust in the Legal Service.
