Attorney General: Broad Terms of Reference for Criminal Investigator Regarding Controversial Video

The Attorney General of the Republic, George Savvides, assured that the investigation into the controversial video will proceed rapidly. Andreas Paschalidis has been appointed as an independent criminal investigator to assist the Police in the investigation, which covers the content of the video, its authenticity, origin, motives for production and publication, as well as the possibility of a hybrid attack. The investigation began immediately and includes inquiries both in Cyprus and abroad, with a possible request for assistance from authorities in other countries, especially the US, due to the location where the video was posted. The Legal Service is closely monitoring the case and cooperating with the Police and other state services.
