No Criminal Charges Filed Against Bishop of Karpasia Over Funds Management

The Attorney General of Cyprus has decided not to press criminal charges against Bishop Christoforos of Karpasia following allegations of mismanagement of funds from the Pan-Cypriot Parents' Association. The allegations concerned the transfer of funds from the association's account to the Bishop's personal accounts in 2020. The case was investigated by the Limassol TAE, but the Attorney General's evaluation of the evidence concluded that no criminal offense had been committed. This decision marks the closure of the case, with no legal consequences for the Bishop.
